1. Introduction

The Wavelet Packet Laboratory is a showcase of a new method of
analyzing frequencies within signals.

The present version has the following limitations:

  - Floating point ASCII text files can not be loaded

  - The maximum trace length that the WPT algorithm can handle
    is 512

  - Memory is limited so be careful about the number of images
    displayed at the same time.  Try to keep four to six images
    the maximum amount loaded.

2. Requirements
      
The minimum requirements of the computer to run this program are:

  - IBM PC/AT (a 80386 is recommended but not necessary)

  - 640K of RAM

  - a hard disk (have plenty of room for files of signals)

  - EGA or VGA(recommended) color monitor

  - a mouse is optional but highly recommended

  - 101 or 102 keyboard (with the F12 key)

4. Installation

NOTE: The following instructions assume a working knowledge of DOS
      Also, make sure there is no \WPL in the destination drive

A) Boot up your computer and go to the root directory of the
   drive where the WPL is to be placed.  Make sure the drive has
   at least 720 kilobytes free.

   Example: the WPL is to be placed on the C drive

   C:\>

B) Insert the distribution disk into the floppy drive and type
   "<source drive>:install <source drive> <destination drive>"

   Example: the WPL distribution disk is placed into the A drive
   C:\>A:INSTALL A: C:
   The \WPL directory is being created ...
   WPL is being installed ...
   .
   .
   .
   WPL is now ready to run on a VGA monitor.
   C:\WPL>

C) If your computer has a VGA, then skip this step.

   Type "USE_EGA" in order to configure WPL to run on EGA monitors

   Example: WPL is to run with a EGA monitor
   C:\WPL>USE_EGA

D) WPL is ready to run at any time. Simply type WPL when in the
   \WPL directory.

   Example:
   C:\WPL>WPL

   Before running WPL make sure that there is maximum amount of free
   memory by removing all TSRs, Terminate and Stay Resident programs.

   If using the mouse, make sure that the mouse is installed.


E) Print the documentation


   Print the following files:  C:\WPL> print manual.txt
                               c:\WPL> print walkthru.txt
