Download the file into a new directory and unzip it with PKUNZIP.EXE. Remember that GST.EXE is the executable of 32-bit windows version and GST_PAS.EXE is only an auxiliary.  It is suggested that the 32-bit windows version be used for the general numerical solution if you have Windows 95 or Windows NT installed (It does not run in 16-bit windows environment such as Windows 3.1).

1. Simplified analytical solution
The simplified analytical solution is in the MS-Excel file "Acrbaby5.xls".  Instructions as how to use the file are given when you open it.

2. General numerical solution, DOS version (version 1.0)
The DOS version is written in PASCAL language.  The source code is in file "ACRONYM5.PAS" and the executable program is in file "ACRONYM5.EXE". A sample input data file is given in file "INPUT.TXT".  Instructions on how to use the program are given when you execute the program by typing "ACRONYM5.EXE" at the DOS prompt.

3. General numerical solution, 32-bit windows version (version 2.0)
The 32-bit Windows version is a modification of the DOS version set up in a user friendly environment written in MS-Visual C++ 5.0.  All the files except ".XLS" and "ACRONYM5.*" belong to this version.  The input data file is "INPUT.TXT", the same as DOS version.  To execute the program, choose "START" in Windows 95 (NT), then "RUN", then "Browser", and then find the directory and file GST.EXE to execute the program. You can also create a shortcut (icon) on your screen for repeated use of the program.  You will find a varity of instructions and help when you execute the program.
