MicroSmith, Version 2.40, Installation and Use.

1.  This version of MicroSmith is compiled especially for inclusion on the
CD-ROM to be distributed with Introduction to Radio Frequency Design.

2.  This version of MicroSmith only functions with a VGA display format.  

3.  Installation is simple.  Create a directory on your hard disc such as
c:\SMITH.  Two files are then copied from the CD to that directory: 
SC_IRFD.EXE and LASTFILE.DAT.  SC_IRFD is the Smith Chart program itself
while LASTFILE is data for the last time the program was run.

4. Files can be named, saved, and recalled from the program. These files,
which describe a circuit being impedance matched or evaluated, reside in the
directory containing the program.

5. A complete manual for the program is included in the file Microsmith.pdf.
This file is easily read with the Adobe Acrobat Reader. (See INSTALLING
ACROBAT READER, below.) The manual describes MicroSmith Version 2.3, which
supported several display formats. SC_IRFD.exe supports only the VGA
display. The manual is otherwise accurate.

6.  MicroSmith is a DOS program.  However, it will run from the Windows
environment via a DOS window.  Start Windows Explorer and find the directory
containing the program.  MicroSmith is then run merely by double clicking it
from Explorer.  You can set up icons at this time to simplify the procedure.
