RE: BPCS documentation -- BPCS-L

Hi Everyone:

Sorry for the delay but finally I have the utility on our companies ftp
site. We will appreciate if you fill a small form that appears when you
click on the download link. Also the installation instructions are there as
well. Also for the convenience I am attaching them in  this mail as well.
Please read the instructions before installing.

Link http://www.psftgroup.com

Follow these instructions and see the DataBase Viewer in action on your
desktop.
(Take a print of the page-it's simpler that way.)

File size: 7+ mb
Download time: 56 kbps 20 min
(of course, these are approximations, since download time will depend on
factors like net congestion and connectivity).

Installation instructions:
0. Make sure you have WINZIP installed on your desktop/laptop.
1. Download the zip file on to the desktop.
2. Double click file to extract
3. The file will be open in the win zip window.
4. Double click on the install icon on top of the winzip window.
5. Do not look for setup.exe
6. Close all windows.
7. Follow the installation program and change the location if you want.
8. After installation is complete.
8. Click the start button.
9. program will be in your program list called BPCSDBViewer.
10. Drag the short cut to your desktop if you like.
