This is the NASA FoilSim Program for MS-Windows. It will run on MS-Windows 3.x, 95 and NT.

To install this program:

Run the program Setup.exe

NOTE: If installing from a zip file,
      unzip the files into a TEMPORARY directory before running Setup.
      Then delete these files when you are done running Setup.

The Setup program will guide you through the installation
of the files into the c:\foilsim directory or another directory of your choice.
Setup will also place the necessary files in your /Windows/System directory.

When complete run the application FOILSIM.EXE.


>>>Installation Problems You May Encounter<<<

Q: I get a "Can't copy ver.dl_" error message when I try to install FoilSim. 

A: This problem occurs on Windows 95/NT systems. The FoilSim program is a 16-bit program and attempts to copy it's 16-bit version of
ver.dll to your windows/system directory during setup. If there is already a 32-bit version of ver.dll left from another program's setup it will not
get replaced by FoilSim. You need to temporarily rename ver.dll and then rerun setup.exe: 

   1.Rename ver.dll to ver.bak 
   2.Run setup.exe again to install FoilSim. 
   3.Delete ver.dll and rename ver.bak to ver.dll again. 

Q: I get a "Setup program terminating error" when I try to install FoilSim. 

A: When installing FoilSim you need to unzip the installation files into a separate directory from the one where FoilSim will be finally installed.
You can't install FoilSim in the same directory where the setup files are located. You should follow a procedure something like this: 

   1.Unzip the files into a temporary directory (e.g. c:/temp). 
   2.Run the program setup.exe, it will install the FoilSim files (e.g. In c:/foilsim). 
   3.You can then delete the unzipped installation files in the temporary directory.
