             SiteView(TM) 1.0 3D Visualization System
                          ConSolve Inc.
             ----------------------------------------

Thank you for downloading this free demonstration version of SiteView.

SiteView is an easy-to-use, inexpensive 3D visualization system.  It
was developed for use by environmental scientists and engineers but
is well suited to anyone who wants to quickly generate compelling
interactive 3D visualizations of spatial data.

SiteView allows you to easily import data from DXF and TSV (text) files.
Once you import your data you can create:
    - 3D iso-shells of attribute fields (potatoes-in-space),
    - 2-1/2D surfaces of attributes as functions of (x,y), and
    - geological models in fence diagrams or blocks.

SiteView will automatically interpolate gridded fields from arbitrarily
positioned data points.  All of the visualizations created in SiteView
can have custom display properties such as:
    - color gradients,
    - contouring,
    - lighting,
    - smoothing,
    - labeling, etc.

SiteView is very affordable.  The Microsoft Windows version of SiteView
1.0 is only $199.  This price is valid through January 1995.
Owners of 1.0 will receive a free upgrade to 1.5 when it becomes available
at the end of January.

SiteView requires 16MB of RAM.  If you run SiteView with less than 16MB of
RAM its performance will be sluggish.

The evaluation version of SiteView that you have is fully functional
except that you cannot save your work to a file.  You are welcome to use
this version as long as you wish, and to pass copies of it along to
others.

If you would like a completely functional version of SiteView, please

SiteView on Microsoft Windows 3.1 or NT
---------------------------------------
To run SiteView you need a 486 or Pentium PC with 16MB of RAM.
Be sure to set the virtual memory of your system to at least 20MB
(Main/Control Panel/386 Enhanced/Virtual Memory).
If you run SiteView with less than 16MB of RAM its performance will be
sluggish.

To run SiteView on Windows 3.1 you need to install WIN32S, Microsoft's 32-bit
enhancement to Windows 3.1.  You can download WIN32S from ftp.microsoft.com.

To install SiteView:
    C:\> md \SITEV10
    C:\> cd \SITEV10

    Assuming you've placed sitev10.zip in \temp:
    C:\SITEV10> pkunzip -d \temp\sitev10.zip


To add a SiteView program group and icon to the Program Manager:
    From the FILE menu of the PROGRAM MANAGER, select NEW and create a new
    PROGRAM GROUP called SiteView.

    Select NEW again and create a new PROGRAM ITEM and set:
	Description:       SiteView 1.0
	Command Line:      sv.exe
	Working Directory: c:\SITEV10

    Select CHANGE ICON and then browse to the c:\SITEV10 directory and
    select the icon file named siteview.ico.


To run SiteView and explore a sample workspace:
    From the PROGRAM MANAGER, double click on the SiteView icon.
    From the File menu in SiteView, select Open.
    In the file browser choose mudfast.sws, 3dhouse.sws, or surfaces.sws.
    If you have less than 16MB of RAM try a small workspace like surfaces.sws.



SiteView on SunOS 4.1.x
-----------------------
To install SiteView:
    First become root (login as root or use the su command).
    Then:
    # mkdir /usr/local/siteview-1.0
    # cd    /usr/local/siteview-1.0

    Assuming you've placed sitev10.tar.Z in /tmp:
    # zcat /tmp/sitev10.tar.Z | tar xvf -


SiteView can be run with several different "look-and-feels".  The choices
are windows, motif, and openlook.  SiteView looks best in either the windows
or motif laf.  To select which laf to use supply the -laf switch to SiteView:
    % sv -laf windows

You should probably pick a laf that looks good to you and supply the
corresponding -laf switch in the script below.


To make SiteView visible on the default path:
    # cat > /usr/bin/sv
    #!/bin/sh
    cd /usr/local/siteview-1.0
    ./sv -laf windows
    CTRL-D (hold down the CTRL key and press the D key)
    # chmod 755 /usr/bin/sv


To run SiteView and explore a sample workspace:
    % sv
    From the File menu in SiteView, select Open.
    In the file browser choose mudfast.sws, 3dhouse.sws, or surfaces.sws.
