REQUIREMENTS
The GRAFster v5 runs on M$ Win9x and later. Installation consumes less than 
1 Mb of hard disc space.

DATA FORMATS
The GRAFster draws charts from daily time series data read from files in 
either the ASCII text, MetaStock, Tc2000 v5 and CSI file formats.
Some sample ASCII market data is provided. If you have trouble reading this 
sample data, your computer's Regional Settings are probably incompatible.  
If this is the case, you'll have to temporarily change them via Control Panel 
to 'United States/English' in order to chart the sample data. Otherwise, fetch 
your data using the free GimmeFreeData program available from thegrafster.com.

INSTALLATION
Install The GRAFster 5 by opening the SETUP.EXE program.  
The setup routine defaults installs all program files in the folder named 
\Program Files\GRAFster5.

Should you decide The GRAFster 5 is not for you, run its UnInstaller from 
Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs Dialog.


REGISTRATION
You may use The GRAFster 5 for 30-days, after which you will be asked to
