-------------------------------------------------------------------
 1. Install Gear Rating Suite Demo:
    Before installing the program, it is recommended that you 
    close all other running applications.  If you have previously 
    installed this program, it is recommended that you uninstall 
    it (see Section 4) before reinstalling the program.

    Install the Gear Rating Suite Demo by first downloading the 
    AGMArateDemo2-1.zip file, then extracting (expanding) the
    files into a directory on your disk drive. Then run setup.exe 
    to initiate program installation.  Follow the screen 
    instructions to complete the installation procedure.  

    If the setup program detects that any of the system files 
    required by the program are not up to date, then you must 
    let it install the newer version of the file and restart
    the computer before the installation can complete.  For 
    windows NT or other systems that require login, you must be 
    logged in as an administrator for this procedure.

    If the setup program detects that any of the system files 
    included with the program are not as up to date as those on
    the computer, it will ask if you want to keep the existing 
    files.  We recommend "Yes" keep the newer file. 

    If the Setup does not complete,see Trouble Shooting (Section 4)
    for help.

    Hardware:
    a) Hard disk drive with at least 25 MB free disk space 
    b) Display with minimum resolution 800x600 
    c) Printer (optional) 

    Operating system 
    a) This software has been tested on Windows 95, 98, NT 4.0, 
       Millennium (Me), 2000 and XP

    Software 
    a) Microsoft Internet Explore 4.0 or later version (for 
       displaying on-line help file)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
 3. Running the Demo:
    An example gear set has been included in the setup program of
    the Gear Rating Suite Demo. After starting the program go to the
    open folder and load "sample.dat".

    The Gear Rating Suite Demo has all the functions of the full
    program. However, the numbers of teeth have been fixed to those
    of the example gear set. All other entries may be changed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
 4. Trouble Shooting:
    a) Can not open file AGMArateDemo2-1.zip:
         This is a compressed set of files that must be 
         extracted (or expanded or decompressed or unzipped) by 
         a compression utility program.  If you do not have such 
         a program, you will first need to get one.  One possible 
         web site is www.winzip.com.

    b) Setup problem: Setup.exe does not install the Demo:
         Check hardware, operating system and software requirements
         
    c) Error message: Could not find Acrobat External Window
       Handler:
         This error message indicates that Acrobat Reader 
         may not be installed on your system.  Run an Acrobat 
         Reader installer to install it.  
         (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html)

    d) Error message: Windows cannot find AcroXXX.exe:
         This error message indicates that Acrobat Reader may 
         not be installed on your system, or the PDF file type 
         is not associated to the Acrobate Reader application.  
         If it is not installed, install Acrobat Reader.  If you 
         have Acrobate Reader 5.0 or later then refer to the 
         Window Help topic "associating file types with programs".

    e) Error message: A message related to outdated OLEAUT32.DLL

 5. Uninstall Gear Rating Suite:
    Use Windows Add/Remove Program icon in Windows Control Panel 
    to uninstall the software.  Please note that the uninstall 
    operation does not remove input data files that you created 
    or some output text files generated by the program.  If the 
    files are no longer needed, then you will have to delete 
    them manually.
