INSTALLING SPILL TOOLS

...on a Windows PC

Spiltool.exe is in the /software/spilltools/program directory on the CD.

RUNNING SPILL TOOLS

...in Windows To start Spill Tools in Windows 95 or NT, from the Start menu, under Programs, from the Spill Tools submenu, select either Dispersant Mission Planner, In-situ Burn Calculator, or Mechanical Equipment Calculator. To start Spill Tools in Windows 3.1, in the Spill Tools program group in the Program Manager, click either Dispersant Mission Planner, In-situ Burn Calculator, or Mechanical Equipment Calculator.

The Spill Tools installer created a "Hazmat" directory (folder) at the location you indicated on your hard drive, and placed Spill Tools and its supporting files in that directory (folder). To ensure trouble-free operation of Spill Tools, do not move any files out of the "Hazmat" directory (folder) or rename any files it contains. It serves as the location for several NOAA OR&R software products (some supporting files used by Spill Tools are also used by other software we produce). To ensure that you can download other software later without problems, don't move or rename the "Hazmat" directory (folder).
