ReadMe.txt for the Weight And BAlance (waba) program.

You need two files:
1) The JRE (Java Runtime Environment) from the SUN web site is needed
   if you don't already have the Java Runtime Environment set up.
   The file is about 5.3MB
2) The waba.exe (self-extracting) or waba.zip (compressed) application file.
   Get this from my webpage 'http://www.timesync.com/kinz/'

SET UP THE JRE:

Download the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) from:
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/jre/download-windows.html

Get the one for the windows platform. It should be:
	jre1_2_2-001-win.exe   (or later)

Put that in some temporary area, then run it (or double-click
on it if you're in Windows Explorer).

Taking the default for all questions should work fine and will
allow the batch files to work properly
You now have the Java Runtime Environment installed.

SET UP WABA:

For Microsoft WINDOWS NT, WINDOWS 95 or WINDOWS 98 systems:

Create a directory for the waba files:
	c:
	mkdir \waba
	cd \waba
	(download the waba.exe file to the 'c:\waba' area)
	waba.exe  (this unpacks the file to the \waba area)
	delete waba.exe (you don't need that one any more)

WINDOWS NT to run the program, type:
	wabant

WINDOWS 98 or WINDOWS 95, to run the program, type:
	waba98

For UNIX systems:
Unpack the .zip file in the desired area and type:
    java -jar waba.jar

WABA FILES:
No matter how you unpack or install WABA, you should see
the following files in the area:
    waba.jar - the compressed .class files for the program
    ReadMe.txt - this file
    waba98.bat - runs waba for Windows 95 and Windows 98
    wabaNT.bat - runs waba for Windows NT
    WabaPOH.txt - Pilot's Operating Handbook data for aircraft types
    WabaList.txt - List of aircraft and their CG data

On windows, you can create a Shortcut to run the
'waba98.bat' or 'wabaNT.bat' file to start up the program.
