****************************************************************************
       Boxplot is distributed as Shareware. It is NOT a free Program. 
            If you use Boxplot then you should register it. 
****************************************************************************

Registered users will recieve the NON-SHAREWARE version of BOXPLOT which
contains many more features than the shareware release. 

Additional features include:
	More Box types (Isobaric, Push-Pull, BandPass) 
	More box enclosure shapes (Tubular, slant, trapazoids)
	2 and 3 way passive crossovers designs
	More passive crossover types (1st thru 4th order) 
	Zobels, notch compensator and other passive networks 
	Active crossover networks and filters (1st through 4th Order)
	Box measurement and tuning section  
	More driver librarys from popular manufacturers.
	Text file import of driver data
	Complete on-line help and tutorial on speaker building 

Plus notification of upgrades and bug fixes as they are available. 
Included in the on-line documentation is a mini tutorial on Loudspeaker 
enclosure design, construction, and tuning. If you are new to speaker building 
then I strongly recommend the tutorial. Nothing is worse than spending many hours
building a speaker enclosure only to be disapointed because of lack of 
proper tuning.

This Version of Box Plot requires Microsoft Windows 3.1 or later
to run.  A math coprocessor is not required but greatly speeds 
up the frequency response calculations. (80286 processors are not supported)

To install BOXPLOT under Windows follow these steps.

1) Create a directory for the BOXPLOT program and is speaker files.
   For example to create a directory named BOXPLOT, from DOS or a DOS window type:
        cd \
        mkdir BOXPLOT
        cd boxplot

2) Run boxplt3.exe with a /d command line to create a spklib subdirectory
   type:
        boxplt3.exe /d

   This will extract all of the files from the compressed file and put them into
   the present directory.
	
3) Start Windows if it is not already running.
4) From the program manager, select the program group you wish to install 
   BOXPLOT in.
5) Select NEW from the FILE menu.
6) Select Program Item in the New Object dialog box.
7) Use the browse function to select the path to BOXPLOT.EXE
8) Click OK

10) Double click on the BOXPLOT ICON to start BOXPLOT.

All program help is now on-line using the standard Windows Help system.

Happy Building...
