Instructions for installing the NT/XP port of SUPREM

Step 1. Download the program here.

The program is a ZIP file, in compressed format. You will need to 'unzip' (i.e., decompress) the file
using a decompression program such as 'winunzip.exe'. These utilities are likely already on your computer,
or are an easy Google search away for your particular computer configuration.

Remember that this program will only run on Windows NT or NT successors, such as Windows 2000.
It has also been successfully demonstrated to run on Windows XP as expected.

Step 2. Install the program.

The program should reside in a folder called suprem at one level below your disk main directory.
For example, if the disk on which you install programs is C:/, your suprem program would reside in the folder C:/suprem

The following four environmental variables MUST be set:

SUP4IMPDATA set to C:/suprem/implant/sup4imp.dat
SUP4KEYFILE set to C:/suprem/suprem.uk
SUP4MODELRC set to C:/suprem/modelrc
HOME set to any valid directory (for example, C:/suprem).
This is the first directory that SUPREM will look for the file ".supremrc".
SUPREM will also look for '.supremrc' in the current directory. The file '.supremrc' does not need to exist.

If you do not know how to set environment variables in the NT environment, please
consult the Microsoft Help pages on your computer.
Incorrectly setting these environmental variables will prevent Suprem from working.

Finally, add the Suprem directory to your path statement

Helpful Hints:

Obviously, you can put the SUPREM program elsewhere on your computer, or on a different drive
by making the appropriate changes in the instructions above (e.g., substituting D: for C:)
and making the appropriate changes in the environment variables.

Once SUPREM is installed, you will also find subdirectories containing example input and output files
that parallel the examples given in the documentation.

Step 3. Finally, to run SUPREM:

Open a DOS window.
Run SUPREM from the Command prompt.

For example, if your SUPREM input file is suprem.in, you would type:

suprem < suprem.in > suprem.out

The file 'suprem.out' contains what would otherwise be written to the screen.
The output can be found in the file name you specify in your input file
(i.e., somewhere in suprem.in you have specified an output file name; that's where your output is).
