Thank you for trying the DynaMetrics(TM) dynamic work flow analysis tools. The program will run very well from a read-only device, but you may want to copy the material to your hard disk. If you do run from a read-only device, the name of an existing scratch directory should be given on the command line. For example, A:\MAIN C:\TEMP The program maintains information in the home directory, or scratch directory if given. If you want to copy the files to a hard disk, create a home directory to hold the files. The directory name does not matter. The program will never write outside this directory unless you tell it to. If you want to run DynaMetrics from any directory, the home directory must be in the path as defined in autoexec.bat. Windows 3.1 - You can use the Windows "Setup|Set Up Applications" to create a Program Item for the MAIN.EXE file. You may want to establish a separate Program Group for this item. Windows 95 - You can use the Windows "Start|Programs|Windows Explorer" to create a Shortcut for the MAIN.EXE file. Traverse to the directory where you placed the files. Right click on MAIN.EXE, and click on "Create Shortcut". You can then drag the shortcut item where ever you like. To remove the program simply delete the directory you created and the Program Item or Shortcut discussed above. There are no strange modifications made to your system. You will also have to remove the home directory from the path in autoexec.bat if you placed it there. There are several sample models included. These are designed to show how the pieces fit together, not to be precise models. If you look at step1 .. step6 in order you will get a feel for how they work. The other examples are the ones I use for testing. Some of them I have gotten from field testers. Change them around all you like. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me. James L.
