Xact 3.20a fr OS/2 Short introduction ----------------------------------- To our non German speaking customers: ------------------------------------- We are aware of the fact that there is some interest in Xact in the UK and USA although we did not announce an English version so far. While we cannot provide you with detailed purchasing and distribution information right now, at least we now have a translated version of the program. If someone feels he or she needs Xact *right now*, we offer to sell the translated program with the documentation still in German. These early customers will receive the English documentation free of charge as soon as it is finished. Until a distributor is found, we will support our non German customers directly and in English, preferably by fax or email. Please understand that this offer is meant only for customers who just don't want to wait. We will change the situation as soon as possible. With best regards from your SciLab team. Language limitations: --------------------- This demo version is only partially translated to the English language. The online help and the sample files are still in German. We hope to change that as soon as possible. In the meantime, this version should suffice to get an idea of what the product does. Installation: -------------- Note: This demo version was designed for electronic distribution. For file size reasons, it does not contain our install program. However, you can get the disk-based demo version by calling us. To install the demo, proceed as follows: Open an OS/2 command window and change to the directory where Xact should be installed. For example, create a directory named XACT, then type CD XACT to change to the new directory. Unpack the file XACTOS2.ZIP: UNZIP XACTOS2.ZIP Depending on the ZIP version you are using, you possibly have to include an additional parameter to cause ZIP to create subdirectories. With the free UNZIP for OS/2, this is not necessary. After unpacking, start the Rexx script called INSTALL.CMD by typing INSTALL INSTALL.CMD then creates an Xact program object on the desktop. Close the command window and double-click the Xact icon to start the demo.
