        ==============================

To setup or reinstall your BIOMECH system, first move to the directory which
contains the installation files (INSTALL.BAT, BIOMECH.EXE).  Then enter:

	INSTALL x:

where, x, is replaced by the drive letter (usually C:) where your programs will
reside.  You will need about 4 megabytes of disk space.  The self-extracting
archive will create a subdirectory named x:\BIOMECH and another called 
x:\BIOMECH\GRAPHS.  The GRAPHS subdirectory contains various files used by the
GRAPH program.  They are not necessary for processing your data.

If you downloaded the archive-only file, BIOMECH.ZIP, you will need to use
PKUNZIP to expanded the archive. In this case, execute the following command:

	PKUNZIP -d-n BIOMECH x:\BIOMECH


Optionally, add the BIOMECH directory to your default path.  E.g.,

	PATH=x:\BIOMECH;%PATH%

where, x, is replaced by the drive letter of the BIOMECH directory (as above).
Add the following command to your CONFIG.SYS file:

	DEVICE=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS or DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS
	or in Windows95 DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ANSI.SYS

Add the following SET commands to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

	SET BIOMECH=x:\BIOMECH
	SET 9=PRN

where, x, is replaced by the drive letter of the BIOMECH directory (as above).

The following system requirements are necessary:
	DOS 4.00 or later
	Colour EGA or better

The following system requirements are optional but desirable:
	132-column video mode (see file VID_132.BAT in BIOMECH directory)
	ANSI.SYS loaded (see above)

To run the programs follow these steps:

    1)  Copy your data files (i.e., trial.DG, trial.CFB) to a specific data
        directory.  E.g., COPY trial.* x:\data\trial

    2)  Move to the data directory.  E.g., CD x:\data\trial

    3)  Run the program directly.  E.g., CINEDATA trial

     or run the batch file BIOMECH.BAT.  E.g., BIOMECH trial
        then select a program from the menu.

     or in Windows, open Explorer (Windows95) or File Manager (Windows 3.x),
        and double-click the control file (.CFB) for your trial.  Note, that
        you must first register various filetypes, as given below.

For Windows 95, the files, IMAGER.REG, BIOMECH.REG and BIOPROC.REG, are provided
to register various filetypes for use with Windows Explorer.  Run REGEDIT.EXE
to have the filetypes registered.  You will then be able to load these files by
double-clicking on their icons from Explorer.

BIOMECH FOR WINDOWS INSTALLATION

If you want to interface with the Biomech programs through a Windows application
use BMWIN95.  These programs require special drivers and libraries to function
under windows.  The following files must be in the Windows SYSTEM directory
(i.e., c:\windows\system).

For BPWIN95: COMDLG32.OCX and MSVBVM50.DLL

These files are not included with the installation software.  They may be
obtained at various websites including the one listed below, in the
subdirectory labelled VBASIC.

DOCUMENTATION

Some documentation is available in Acrobat .PDF file format.  To read these
files download the free Acrobat Reader from the website:
	http://www.adobe.com/acrobat
Installation instructions are provided by Adobe.  These files should be
placed in the subdirectory called "\manuals".  I.e.,

	x:\BIOMECH\MANUALS
