Zonge programs include one year of prepaid maintenance.  Updated copies are 
available upon request: include the program name, version, and serial number 
(if any).  Maintenance contracts are available for additional years to provide 
updates and requests for support.  Send your requests to zonge@zonge.com

INSTALLATION
Program files are normally copied from CD-ROM to a single hard-disk subdirectory, 
such as c:\DATPRO.  The directory can be included on your environment variable PATH 
so that the programs can be run from a separate data directory.  

On a Windows computer, the PATH may be changed in: 
Control Panel | System | Advanced | Environment Variables | System variables | Path
Enter the path of your program subdirectory after the initial Windows entries, 
ensuring that each path entry is followed by a semicolon ";".  The command window
(MS DOS) environment will not use more than 128 characters of the PATH, so the
program directory needs to be included before that limit. 

Files copied from CD-ROM have their "attributes" set to "read-only".  Files that 
need to be modified or updated need to be writable (not "read-only").  The 
Properties of each file may be used to change "read-only" attributes, or entire
directories may have attributes for all files changed (recommended).


MODELING PROGRAMS
Modeling programs are normally protected with a "dongle" (USB device).  

A complete set of model programs may be distributed.  Users will be able to
run only those model programs for which keys (registration programs) are provided.  
Additional keys are available for the other programs.  ONE dongle is normally 
provided for each modeling program so that one user at a time may operate the 
program.  TWO dongles are provided for each data processing program so that two 
users (field and office) may operate the program. 

Software protection files (dongle drivers) are included on the dongle and will 
install automatically when the dongle is first attached to a computer. 

Notes are included below under PROTECTION that provide alternatives.


PROTECTION
Hardware "Dongle" Protection:
The Dongle is expected to be plugged into one of your USB ports.

A small registration programs will run in a DOS window when requested by 
the main program.  The DOS window must close without attention from the user, 
otherwise the program will appear to stop running.  You should be able to 
run the registration program by itself by double-clicking on the file.  
A DOS window should briefly appear, quickly closing by itself without any 
messages being displayed.


UTILITIES
Plotting of modeled data by using Geosoft Oasis or Golden Software SURFER
may be assisted by using programs provided on separately on the CD-ROM.  Any 
utility program that you wish to use should be copied to the same directory 
containing the model programs, and that is included on your PATH.

New data processing programs may write plots to files using the PNG or WMF
format, and do not require special programs to view these plots. 

Plot files written by legacy data processing programs may use a filename 
extension of ".Xnn" or ".PLT".  These files contain instructions using the 
HPGL plotter format.  There are several programs available to display and 
print these files.  Zonge includes a copy of the View Companion Standard 
program, and a license serial number.  

The files for View Companion are normally copied to the C:\LIB directory:
1. VC5xx.EXE    (installation program, 'xx' is the version number)
2. vc16xx.txt   (license serial number, 'xx' is the Zonge DATPRO number)
3. vcZonge.vpt  ("pen control file" containing Zonge color and line data)

Run the installation program to install the View Companion Standard program. 
Run the View Companion program.  It will prompt you to enter your serial number.  
Copy the serial number from the text file "vc16xx.txt".  

Copy the file "vcZonge.vpt" to C:\PROGRAM FILES\ViewCompanion Standard\Samples
In View Companion, open the "\Tools\Pen Table" dialog.  
Under "Pen Table Settings", select all options.  
Press the browse button on the right side of the pen table name field, then 
find the "vcZonge.vpt" file.  Plots will now be displayed with the Zonge 
configuration for pen color and line width.
