  NEW.TXT (currently not available)


Note: 1) Sorry, most comments as well as the syntax-language
      is in german without an english translation. I'll
      complete the access via english language later.
      
      2) Check for updates regularly. There is a lot of
      reconstructing.

==========================================================
Installation: 

  (Win XP, Win 7): With (Inno-) MatMate_Setup.exe
  From ZIP-archive:
  Extract and copy the files with the subdirectory structure
  into your "programs"-folder. You can also direct
  the data-part of MatMate to a different folder.
  See %windows\MatMate.ini, which is generated from the
  first start. (Please report any technical problems)
  You can manually edit the MatMate.ini file or use a
  Matmate-command for settings (SET ... )



  Defaults for subdirectories below the executable-path:

  Beispiele\
  Doku\
  Hilfe\
  Journal\
  Helpers\

  These paths are expected from MatMate, where the base-path
  can be changed.

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

 legal claims:
 The author does not give any warranty for correct results
 and does not take responsibility for any damage of the
 windows-system of the user, although the program uses only
 standard windows/delphi routines for calculation, for reading
 and writing of files and for the execution of file-dialogs.
 The program is designed only for scientific computational 
 purposes.

 The use of the program is on the sole risk of the user.
