Welcome to D/STAIN 1.0.0!

TERMS



By acquiring and using a copy of D/STAIN, you are agreeing to the copyright and

notices listed at the end of this file.


INSTALLATION



You can unzip the downloaded .zip file to any directory on your disk.  In this
directory, you will find another directory called "DSTAIN".

There will be many, many items in this directory.  First and foremost, the
executable, "DSTAIN.exe", will be present.  Of note, in the "Doc" subdirectory,
there will be:



(1) This README.txt file.

(2) The documentation (DSTAIN_100.pdf).

(3) The general tutorial (UsingDeSTAIN_100.pdf)






Users who are upgrading from an older version of D/STAIN should rename the old

folder, put it in a safe place, then place the new folder in its place.  Every
effort is made to make D/STAIN backward compatible, but I can't guard against
all possible problems.



BUGS



Please report any bugs to chad.brautigam@utsouthwestern.edu.  It would be

helpful if you can

(1) describe the steps you took that caused the failure

and

(2) reliably reproduce the failure.
