required.

386 DX (40 MHz) without co-proc: 2.6 seconds
486 DX (33 MHz) with co-proc: < 0.2 second.
3. HOW TO INSTALL
There are two parts to the installation:
- Part 1 Install the files
- Part 2 Start the application (NATK12.EXE) for the
first time and complete the dialog to create the
Program Manager Icon for the program.
*** Part 1: To install the files
1) Create a directory for this software.
Use either File Manager or, at the DOS prompt, type:
c:
cd \
mkdir NEIKI
2) copy all the distribution files (NATK12RT.ZIP,
NATK12S?.ZIP and NATK12.TXT) to C:\NEIKI
3) Unzip both NATK12*.ZIP files. To do this with PKUNZIP,
using the DOS prompt, do like this:
c:
cd \NEIKI
pkunzip NATK12*
4) Now the files are installed. You should copy the .ZIP
files to a floppy disk as a backup. If you want to
make a copy to give to a friend, please copy the ZIP
files and NATK12.TXT: you are sure that he/she will
have all the needed pieces.
(Once you are done with the installation and have copied
the ZIP files to a floppy, you can free some space on
your hard disk by deleting the .ZIP files from the
\NEIKI directory).

You can browse on your hard disk with FILE MANAGER and
double-click on the NATK12.EXE program file OR follow the
