Whether second backbone distribution exists, proceed selecting first

acquisition number and go on as above indicated until plant acquisitions and
backbone distributions are over. Whether second backbone distribution does

not exist, leave the space free and confirm.

•

Program produces files which contain most significant measures for any plant

backbone distribution. A message shows names of produced files and PC path

which corresponds to software installation directory. Files are in HTML format.
They can be viewed with Openoffice Writer, Microsoft Word or any other web
