           ENGINEERING POWER TOOLS  -  Version 1.9
         ===========================================

              >>>>> IMPORTANT INFORMATION <<<<<

             Read this if you are having trouble
             installing or running this software.

  This version of the installation package does not include
  the VB5 Runtime files. The Visual Basic Runtime Library 
  contains common subroutines that are used by all Visual 
  Basic applications. These system files will already be on
  many Windows 95 and later operating systems. Some software 
  archives (eg. SimTel.Net & mirrors) do not distribute the 
  VB5 Runtime files with the application packages in order to 
  conserve space on their file systems. If you do not have the
  the necessary runtime files, you have the following options:

Option 1 

  The VB5 runtime files needed for this program can be downloaded
  from the SimTel.Net software site. Set your browser to:

       http://www.simtel.net/simtel.net/win95/dll.html

       Download this file:  vb500a.zip  (1.3Mb)

  Unzip the file and run vb500a.EXE to install the runtime files.
  This is a Windows self-installing executable (includes uninstall).

  If you had trouble installing Engineering Power Tools, try the
  install again and it should work. (Run the "setup.exe" file.)

  If Engineering Power Tools already installed successfully but
  would not run, try it again now that the runtimes are in place.

Option 2 

  If this seems like a real hassle and you would rather just
  download a copy of the complete installation package which 
  already contains all the proper files, you can get it by
  downloading directly from the Engineering Power Tools site:

       http://www.pwr-tools.com 

  Download the 32-bit version, unzip to an empty folder and 
  run the "setup.exe" file to install. You can delete the
  temporary folder and the "eptool19.zip" file after installing
  if you wish - they are no longer needed by the program.
