How to install RebarWin 2.5:

Please follow these steps:
* Make a directory in your hard drive, which will be used during the installation.
For instance, it could be C:\INSTALL
* Unpack the zip file and place the resulting files in this 
directory. You can use, among others, PKUNZIP.EXE or WINZIP.
* Install the software by executing C:\INSTALL\SETUP.EXE.

During this installation process the executable file is placed at:
C:\REBARWIN\REBARWIN.EXE
and the help files are copied to the subdirectory:
C:\REBARWIN\HELP\
The help files are available in two different formats:
* Help.doc, Help1.doc, help2.doc and help3.doc can be viewed with MS-Word 97 or higher. 
This is the recommended format. If you print the files in this format, different
chapters are kept in different pages. That doesn't happen with the htm format.
* Help.htm, Help1.htm, help2.htm and help3.htm can be viewed with your internet browser.

To uninstall RebarWin you can either run C:\REWARWIN\UNINSTALL.EXE or use the 
 Windows Add/Remove Software utility in the Control Panel.

If you have any problem installing or using RebarWin, please e-mail to 
info@rebar.net 
Also send an e-mail if you have any comment to make or want further 
information.


You will notice that during the test period, when you print a rebar order ( bar list ),
 the following text is also printed:
"Shareware version of RebarWin. Free download at www.rebar.net".
OF COURSE THIS TEXT WILL DISAPPEAR ONCE YOU REGISTER.

IMPORTANT NOTE: IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU CLOSE 
 ALL MS-DOS PROGRAMS BEFORE RUNNING RebarWin.
 Because some old DOS programs block the printer port
 even if they aren't printing, it is highly recommended that you close
 them before running RebarWin, else they could completely block
 RebarWin when it tries to print.
 There is no problem if you have other windows programs open while you are 
 using RebarWin, this problem only occurs with some MS-DOS programs.
