System Requirements

The operating and evaluation software can basically be run on any PC using
Windows 95/98 or Windows NT. However, to enable fast processing, it is recom-
mended implementing at least a 486 DX with a frequency of 66 MHz

.

When Windows 95/98 is used, the PC should have at least 16 Mbyte RAM to
ensure processing can be completed quickly. If Windows NT is used, the PC
should have at least 32 Mbyte working memory because the operating system is
more comprehensive

.

Any printer set up under Windows can be used for printing purposes. The con-
nection of an ink-jet or laser printer allows professional printouts to be made
