2.  Protection key

	An hardware protection key (dongle) is supplied with the standard
	version of MaxMin Pro.  The program needs this key to run in normal mode
	but will run in demonstration mode without the key.

	The demonstration version does not needs any key.
	
	Plug the protection key in any one of your computer printer ports.
	The printer, if any can be plugged back in the key.  The key is
	transparent to printer traffic.

2.1	for WINDOWS 95, Windows NT and later version users

	MaxMin Pro protection key can give problems under Windows NT and
	Windows 95.  It may not be recognized.  A special utility needs to
	be installed manually.

	To correct the problem, run a:Hinstall -i from the other diskette
	and then reboot your system.  The protection key will then be
	recognized.  Ask Apex for Hinstall.exe if you do not have a copy.

	Of course, this will not affect the demonstration version in any way.

3.  User's manual

	MaxMin Pro user's manual is supplied as an online help hypertext.

	You can consult it before running MaxMin Pro:  double click the question mark icon
	installed in the MaxMin Pro program group.

	The manual is also available from inside MaxMin Pro.  Again, any question mark button
	will bring help, either general or context sensitive (help pertinent to the selected
	window).

	We do not supply a printed user's manual with MaxMin Pro.
	You can nevertheless print yourself part (or all) of the topics of the online manual.


4.  A Warning about Units:

	MaxMin Pro layers interpretation uses meters internally but supports
	 two user's system of units.

	Coil separation and Station spacing units (Field units) are extracted from
	the input .MMD file and will kept and displayed as such.

	Layered earth models use a different set of units, either ALWAYS METERS (default)
	or the field units, either meters or feet as specified by the .MMD file.

	Plate models are always dimensioned in the field units.

	Use the OPTIONS menu to change MaxMin Pro model units.  (See Help file)
