    This program is distributed as a single zipped file with the

    Copy the ZIP file to a temporary directory (folder) and unzip 
    it into the same folder. This will produce two files - This 
    ReadMe.txt file and the AlcoDens_Setup.exe installation file.

    Run the AlcoDens_Setup.exe file.  This will install the program
    into the \Program Files\AlcoDens directory, although you can 
    select a different folder if you want to.
       
    After installation the program will appear in your menu 
    structure as Start | Programs | AlcoDens and an icon will be 
    placed on the desktop.  

    An uninstall option will also be added to your menu.

  DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
  =====================
    The detailed instructions are included as on-line Help. When 
    the program runs, click on the Help icon and detailed, indexed
    help will be available.

  PURCHASING INSTRUCTIONS
  =======================
    AlcoDens is distributed as a try-before-you buy evaluation 
    version.  This means you are free to use this evaluation copy 
    of AlcoDens to determine its value and usefulness to you.  The
    evaluation version of AlcoDens will allow you to run it 30 
    times.  This version will not produce the printed reports 
    available in the full version, but apart from that it is fully 
    functional.

    During the evaluation period, each time you start the program
    it will advise you how  many runs you have remaining.  At the 
    end of the trial period the program will no longer allow you 
    to perform calculations.

    Only if you find AlcoDens to be worth the asking price do you
    register and pay.  If AlcoDens does not meet your needs or
    standards then it has cost you nothing and you simply uninstall
    it from your disk. 

    AlcoDens can be bought for US$ 195.00. Full details of the 
    registration process are included in the help files within the 
    program.  Facilities are available for purchasing over the 
    internet or by phone or by fax.  Payment can be made by credit
    card, wire transfer or purchase order.

    When you register, you will be given a password which will
    convert your evaluation version to the full version without
    limits and restrictions.  The license give you the right to
    download and use all upgrades that might be released in future.
    If you pay by credit card you can receive your password almost 
    immediately.
