       Netica API Programmer's Library, version 1.01,

       Windows static library for Microsoft Visual C++ 1.51



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.


INSTALLATION
------------

To install, simply copy the files on the floppy disk to the hard drive
directory of your choice (usually a new one is best).

It is best to first get the example project working.
Start Visual C++, and choose Open from the Project menu.
Open "demo.mak" (located on the directory where you installed it).

You will need to set up the Demo project to find its files from the
directory you installed them.  From the Project menu, choose "Edit DEMO.MAK"
and replace the 3 files there (indicated to be in directory "C:\netica")
with the same 3 files in the directory you installed them.

If you have Visual C++ installed on a directory other than "\MSVC",
or on a drive different from the Netica installation, it will not be able
to find the required library and header files, so you will have to choose
Directories from the Options menu, and set the directories appropriately.

Choose "Build DEMO.EXE" from the Project menu, and check that everything
compiles and links without errors, as it constructs your executable
DEMO.EXE.  Then try running it by choosing Go from the Debug Menu.
If you don't get any errors, then your installation was probably succesful.

Once you have the example program running, you can duplicate the "Demo"
project (i.e. DEMO.MAK). 
Replace DEMO.C with your own source files, and you are ready to build your
own application.

Alternately, you can simply include NETICA.LIB in your own project.
In that case you must be careful that none of your compiler or linker options
are incompatible with NETICA.LIB, which was built using the same options as 
the "Demo" project.  Also you must include the required runtime libraries
in your project, which are:  oldnames, libw, and llibcewq.


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

In your own software, you should use the license password provided to you
by email, or on your invoice.  If you just use NULL, as in the "Demo"
project, Netica will only operate in a demonstration mode.


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

Your purchase price includes all version 1.xx releases of Netica (for your
chosen operating system), so your license password will work on all of them.  
If you are downloading Netica, then you can simply download the new versions
as they appear.
If Netica was mailed to you, then you will receive mailings of selected
new versions.  Additional mailings can be purchased from Norsys.


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

Versions of the Netica library built with different options may be purchased
from Norsys.  For example, you may want a version that accesses the floating
point coprocessor directly instead of going through the operating system,
which will usually run much faster, but will fail on incompatible machines.
