Volumina Pro 1.1 for Windows 9x/NT/2k estimates
volumes of rotationally symmetrical containers
===============================================

Volumina Pro estimates volumes of rotationally 
symmetrical containers and their mean square errors 
using their digitized cross-sections obtained 
from scanned photos, plots or drawings. Data input, 
processing and data output are organised by a project 
manager co-operating with linked interactive and
interdependent database and graphics components.

The four tabs of the main interface highlight the 
procedural steps: input or digitize surface points, 
input parameter, process, and output volumes and their 
mean square errors. The user can select from three
different approximating functions: linear, quadratic
and cubic. Numerous example projects are included to 
demonstrate the various characteristics of this program.

Data input is realised by working interactively in a
graphics display and database grids that keep each other
automatically updated when data is changed. Thus,
digitizing of surface points and, if necessary, data 
correction is done by a few mouse clicks and key presses.
Parameter input includes values for digitizer precision,
scale and wall thickness along with estimates for their
accuracy.

Data output can be viewed by using either ASCII files or
database grids. These grids allow one to examine all results 
for different input sets at the same time. Next to them 
the scanned image with the digitized surface points is 
displayed together with the computed symmetry axis and
geometrical center of the container.

To install Volumina Pro do the following:

1) Create a temporary folder e.g.'C:\Temp'
2) Unzip the 'VoluminaPro.zip' file into this folder
    (if you don't have a zip program, a free download
     is available at http://www.winzip.com)
3) Run 'Setup' and follow the instructions
4) After the installation is successfully completed,
	you can run or uninstall Volumina Pro
	like any other Windows program.

If needed, the unzipped installation files can be
copied to 1.4 MB floppy diskettes as follows:
Files _setup.2, disk2.id => Installation Disk 2
Files _setup.3, disk3.id => Installation Disk 3
Files _setup.4, disk4.id, README.txt, VoluminaPro.xml
			 => Installation Disk 4
All other files          => Installation Disk 1
Then insert Disk 1 and run on the floppy drive
'Setup' as described above.

To uninstall Volumina Pro, use the Windows desktop 
by clicking Start / Settings / Control Panel /
Add/Remove Programs. Then you get a list of installed
programs. Select e.g. Volumina Pro 1.1, press the
Add/Remove button, and follow the instructions.

Volumina Pro is shareware for $ 5.00 (1 user license) 
so that you can test the full program before buying it. 
If you would like to use it for a longer time, order it at
