-
- What is SPIA?
-
- SPIA is a mathematical scratchpad for functions. SPIA provides an
- interactive environment in which to study functions (like sin, cos,
- etc.) and signal processing techniques (like Fourier transform,
- convolution, etc.). SPIA is easy to use (really!), and serves a
- variety of needs. From the high school student learning for the
- first time about graphing functions and trigonometry to the
- practicing engineer interested in power spectra. SPIA is
- being used in universities and companies across the country.
-
- What is SHAREWARE?
-
- SPIA is a shareware program. That means that SPIA is a user
- supported product. It is not public domain, and it is not free
- software. If you find SPIA useful, we ask you to register your copy
- of SPIA. By registering SPIA you are contributing to the further
- development of this software, and software like it. Details on how
- to register SPIA are included in the abbreviated on-disk manual,
- MANUAL.DOC. We also ask you to share your copy of SPIA with your
- colleagues (please distribute the unconfigured copy of this disk).
-
- How do I use SPIA?
-
- SPIA first needs to be configured for your computer. To do this
- simply insert the SPIA disk (the contents of SPIA.ARC [13 files]
- from your Bulletin Board) into drive A and type "A:[Enter] CONFIG [Enter]"
- (without the quotes). Once configured, type "RUNSPIA" to run SPIA!
-
- How do I REALLY use SPIA?
-
- A SPIA demo disk is available (SPIADEM.ARC from your Bulletin Board)
- which will run a live demo of SPIA. This is very useful in learning
- how to use SPIA. However, because SPIA is truly an intuitive tool, we
- heartily recommend jumping in and playing. After all, playing
- (exploring, experimenting) really is the best way to learn - isn't it?
-
- Enjoy!
