| Installation |
The basic installation of PAST is easy: Just download the file
'Past.exe' and put it anywhere on your harddisk. Double-clicking
the file will start the program.
The data files for the case studies can be downloaded separately,
or together in the packed file 'casefiles.zip'.
This file must be unpacked with a program such as WinZip.
We suggest you make a folder called 'past' anywhere on your harddisk, and put all the files in this folder.
Please note: Problems have been reported for some combinations of screen resolution and default font size in Windows - the layout gets ugly and it may be necessary for the user to increase the sizes of windows in order to see all the text and buttons. If this happens, please set the font size to 'Small fonts' in the Screen control panel in Windows.
PAST also seems to have problems with some printers. Postscript printers from HP and Tektronix work fine.
