=============
 Windows 3.x
=============

1. Use File Manager to create a new (temporary) directory on your hard drive.
   Since it is temporary, the name is not important. Use "EPT" if you like.

2. Move the zipped distribution file (EPTOOL18.ZIP) into the new directory.

3. Unzip the distribution file. 

4. In Program Manager click on: File, Run..., Browse...

5. Locate your new directory. Click on "setup.exe" and hit the "OK" button.

6. Follow the prompts. (If you encounter a VBRUN300.DLL error, see note below.)

7. Run ENGINEERING POWER TOOLS using the icon in the new Program Group.

Note: Once installation is complete, you can use File Manager to delete the
      temporary directory.  None of the files are required to run the program.

1. Use Explorer to create a new (temporary) folder on your hard drive. Since
   it is temporary, the name is not important. Use "EPT" if you like.

=========================================
 File error: "Can not find VBRUN300.DLL"
=========================================

This program expects to find a Windows system file named "vbrun300.dll"
in your Windows\System subdirectory (folder) during installation. The file
is not included in the distribution package from Simtel.Net because of its
size and because the file will already be on most systems. Should you get
an error during the install process, indicating that this file is not on
your system, you will need to download it separately. It is available from
the Simtel.Net as "vbrun300.zip". To download it, point your browser to:

ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/win3/dll/vbrun300.zip

Unzip the file and move it into your Windows\System subdirectory (folder).
Run "setup.exe" again and the application should install properly.

If this seems like a hassle and you would rather just download a copy of
the complete installation package that already contains this file, you can
get it from the ENGINEERING POWER TOOLS web site:
