FILES INCLUDED
--------------

To install, expand the .zip file downloaded from the website or copied
from the disk sent to you, and put them in the hard disk directory of 
your choice.

After unzipping, you should have a new directory Netica_C_API
with the following files and directories in it:


README.txt ---------------- This file.
doc/       ---------------- Contains a users manual and invaluable web-docs
lib/       ---------------- Contains Netica library for linking
examples/  ---------------- Contains numerous illustrative examples
src/       ---------------- Contains Extra C source and Netica.h header


LICENSE AGREEMENT
-----------------

Before using Netica, make sure you accept the license agreement,
which is included with this package.  If not, return Netica unused 
for a refund.


DEMO PROJECT
------------

It is best to first get the examples in the examples/ directory to work, 
as confirmation that your installation is correct.

1. Go to the src/ directory and at the command line execute compile.sh.
   This will create NeticaEx.o and copy it to the lib/ directory.
2. Go to the examples/ directory and at the command line execute compile.sh.
   This will create several test programs.
3. Finally, in the same directory, execute run.sh.
   If all is fine, all of the examples should run without error.


LICENSE PASSWORD
----------------

If you have a license password, the next step is to make sure it works.
In Demo.c, change the line that says:

    env = NewNeticaEnviron_bn (NULL, NULL, NULL);

to one that says:

    env = NewNeticaEnviron_bn ("xxx", NULL, NULL);

where xxx is the license password provided to you by email, on your shipped 
CD-ROM, or on your invoice.  Then recompile, relink and run it again.
If you get the same message as before (except without the "Netica operating 
without a password ..." line), then your password is working properly.


ONSCREEN HELP and MANUAL
------------------------

Onscreen (HTML based) web documentation provides very complete descriptions of every function in a pleasant and productive browsing environment.  To access it, simply point your browser to /doc/webdocs/index.html.

There is also a printable PDF manual in the doc/ directory.  It is useful for installing and learning to use Netica-C API.

PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES
---------------------

Netica API is available for programming in Java, Visual Basic, C and C++, and other languages.  For more information on Netica API for different languages, see the
Norsys web site.


FUTURE VERSIONS
---------------

Your purchase price includes all version 3.xx releases of Netica (for your
chosen operating system), so your license password will work on all of them.  
They may be downloaded from the Norsys web site.


SPECIAL BUILDS
--------------

Versions of the Netica API library built with different options,
or for different compilers or operating systems, may be purchased from
