             WinTorg shareware/demonstration version
             ***************************************

WinTorg is a simulation that has been developed to help under-
graduate university and college students of organic chemistry 
learn about using spectroscopy, other physical measurements and 
chemical reactions to identify organic unknowns. 

Unknowns can be identified by any mix of spectroscopy and 
chemical tests etc. It is possible to use the program as a source
of spectroscopic unknowns and avoid chemical tests entirely.

An extensive help system is available that includes spectroscopic
correlation information, chemical equations and tables of 
compounds and derivatives. Once an unknown has been identified, 
assignments of its major spectroscopic features can be viewed.

The amount of help that a student can obtain is controlled by the
instructor. For example, WinTorg with the help system enabled 
could be used by students while they are learning about 
spectroscopy and identifying unknowns. Then the help system could
be disabled and the program used for assessment.


*********************---Some user comments---********************

"The program is really coming together as a superb package-well
done!"
 
 "The students really "dig it man" (as the saying goes)"
 
 "I would recommend to anyone taking organic chemistry that they 
 get this program."
 
 "WinTorg is marvelous."
 
 "It is BRILLIANT!!"

    ALL COPYRIGHT AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.


The program WinTorg and all associated programs, files and 
documentation are supplied as is. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS 
GIVEN to you or any other third party and neither the author nor 
the University of Tasmania shall be liable for any damages or 
losses whatsoever that may arise from use of this material.

The shareware/demonstration version of WinTorg is available at 
no cost. A full refund of the purchase price of the registered 
version may be obtained on request within 30 days of purchase.


************************---Installation---***********************

WinTorg runs under Windows 95 or later, or Windows NT. A display
using at least "high-color" (16 bit) or higher is recommended.

6.7M (or less) of hard drive space (3.9M system files system 
files if not already present, 2.8M WinTorg files)
and a Windows-compatible mouse or other pointing device are 
required.

To install the program and associated files, run setup.exe.

The main program is wintorgs.exe. Wtsetups.exe is also installed.


**********************---Getting started---**********************

The following folder (directory) will be created, if default 
settings are accepted. 
     C:\Program Files\wintorg\
This directory contains the WinTorg material.

An entry in the Start menu will also be made.
     Start --> Programs --> wintorg
(If default settings were used).

To get WinTorg running either:
  * Click on the appropriate icon found via the Start menu.

  * Use Windows Explorer, navigate to the wintorg directory and
    double click on wintorgs.exe
  
Consult WinTorg help and this file (wtreadme.txt) for more
details. The text file may be found in the wintorg directory.

The program wtsetups.exe allows customisation of WinTorg.
For example it is possible to choose:

  * whether a student can have multiple sessions (that is to 
    allow saving of information to file) or not

  * whether password protection is allowed for student files

  * if the chemical tests and/or derivatives are available
    (visible) for students to use or not

  * how much asistance that a student can receive e.g. can
    : see possible names of unknown to choose from
    : see possible structures of unknown to choose from
    : get help about results and unknown type

  * whether or not a picture about Tasmania is shown (as a 
    "reward" when an unknown is identified)

  * if sounds are allowed or not (if allowed then students are
    given the option of switching this off or on)

  * show or not show a "Tip of the Day" to previous users 

  * enable/disable each of the four spectroscopic calculators

The other option about allocation of unknowns is operational 
only in the registered version.

These selections are stored in the file wintorg.ini which is 
read by WinTorg when it starts running.


**************************---Removal---**************************

To remove WinTorg and associated files, use the standard Windows
procedure obtained via
     Settings -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs


***********************---Registration---************************

This shareware (demonstration) version of WinTorg is limited to
three unknowns only. The registered version with a full set of 
unknowns may be purchased from the author on payment of the 
following fee:

New users
Institutional users:   US$200 (in Australia# Aust$200)
Individual students:   US$20 (in Australia# Aust$20)

Upgrade from Torganal (DOS) or an earlier version of WinTorg
Institutional users:   US$50 (in Australia# Aust$50)

# Australia plus 10% GST

Payment is to be made to:-
   School of Chemistry, Attention Dr AJ Blackman
   University of Tasmania
   Locked Bag 75, Hobart
   Tasmania, Australia 7001

Payment can be made by international cheque or money order.

Payment is also possible by major credit card provided an 
official order is received (mail or fax) showing details of the
credit card, its expiry date, amount to be debited, and the
signature of an appropriately authorised person.

For institutional users WinTorg and associated files are supplied 
on CD and shipping (postage) costs are included in the price. The
heavily discounted student version is only available by electronic
delivery (e-mail attachment).


*****************---Benefits of registration---******************

* 100 unknowns are supplied, 20 are simple (monofunctional) and
  79 are somewhat harder (but still suitable for introductory 
  students). There is one worked example.

* The unknowns may be allocated automatically by the WinTorg 
  program - either 0, 1 or 2 simple compounds (each with a 
  different functional group) followed by the harder unknowns in
  random order until all have been completed. Alternatively 
  unknown allocation may be done on an individual basis by the 
  instructor using a supplied program (wtallocate).

* A program (wtunkshow) is supplied that shows the names, 
  structures and spectral assignments of the unknowns in a 
  variety of ways.

* Another supplied program (wtstats) reads the files that users
  of WinTorg create when they save their information. These files
  are named with a wtg extension. The files can be selected and
  processed; this operation can be repeated in case the files are
  in several locations (eg on multiple floppy disks). Simple 
  statistics can then be viewed.

* Registered institutional users are granted the right to use the
  program over a network and/or to place copies of the program on
  as many computers as desired provided no distribution occurs 
  outside that institution.

"Screenshots" of WinTorg and its support programs may be seen at

The programs wtsetup, wtallocate, wtunkshow and wtstats are all 
password protected in the registered package.
