Thank you for purchasing DilaSoft for Windows 32 bit software!

To install the software, run the 'setup.exe' program on the install CD and
follow the instructions. We highly recommend that the software be installed into
the default directory of 'c:\tw32\' for compatibility and future trouble shooting
if needed. This directory is _not_ the same as used by our 16 bit software and both
versions can reside on the same computer for users upgrading to the 32 bit version.

This release of DilaSoft for Windows is a full 32 bit software product and will run
on any system using Windows 95/98 or Windows NT. It has been fully tested on
Windows 98 and Windows NT release 4, service pack 3.


If you have any questions about installing this product, or about using it after
installation, you can view the online help file located in the root directory of the CD.
Just double-click the "thetwain.hlp" file for the main menu. Installation, setup,
troubleshooting and other issues are covered in the "Technical" section.

Note: A new feature of the 32 bit DilaSoft for Windows is the ability to automatically
	generate a trouble shooting report in case of software problems. To access this
	feature, run the main DilaSoft main menu program and look at the 'Help' menu.
	Here you will find an option titled "Create Problem Report". Click on this
	option for a new window that allows adding user comments to the report and
	an option to add a complete data file to the report. The entire report contains
	all the necessary files to recreate the users setup at another location, appended
	into a single file for easy transfer on floppy disk, email or even fax. The report
	is located in the directory set up under the Files-Directory Settings menu.
	Instructions are contained in the Problem Report window.


Note: If you are installing DilaSoft for Windows in Windows NT, you MUST follow
	the instructions given below _IF_ your system is using an internal computer
	data acquisition card or valve control card. Installing the driver even
	if you do not use the internal card will not do any harm and may simply
	make the system ready for a future upgrade.

	Follow these directions only _after_ you have installed the software!


===================================================================================


Running under Windows NT

When running under Windows NT you must ensure that the file DLPORTIO.SYS 
is placed in the Winnt\system32\drivers directory and DLPORTIO.DLL is placed in the
Winnt\system32 directory. Note that "Winnt" is the normal Windows NT root directory
but may be different on other computers. The setup program should normally do this
as part of the installation process. If the driver files need to be reinstalled at
a later time, run the program "port95nt.exe" from the installation CD. The drivers
must then be loaded before trying to read or write from the hardware port.

Once the DLPORTIO.SYS driver has been installed it can be made to start automatically
every time NT is started. To place the driver into this mode select the DEVICES
icon from the Windows NT Control Panel. 
From the "Devices" dialog box scroll down the list to find dlportio and select it from
the list, then click on the Startup button.

The device Startup Type dialog box will then be shown.  From the 
option buttons select Automatic. The driver will now automatically start each 
time that Windows NT is restarted.



Driver Removal

If after loading and running the driver you experience difficulties with 
other hardware, the above procedure may be followed and 'Disable' selected.
If the driver is disabled, the software will no longer be able to communicate
with the data acquisition card! Once the driver is disabled, the files may be
removed from the system.
