to distribute my new version of this program.

DETAILED PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

	The IBR HEAT LOSS program asks a series of questions.  The first 
questions ask the conditions the house will be be exposed to at the
coldest time of the year.  Then the questions determine the dimensions
of a room.  The next questions determine the size of openings in walls
exposed to the outdoors.  The questions than ask for the amount of heat
that will flow through the dimensions of the rooms.

	If an answer needs correction, the operator may enter an ASTERISK
* and the previous question will appear for correction.  If help is
required, pressing Alt and Period together will pop up an in-memory
screen to provide more information.

	As the operator answers the heat flow questions the heat losses
through the walls, ceiling, floor, or openings appear.  The room
total loss appears below the answers.  A copy of the room loss may
be kept using the DOS printscreen keys.

INTENDED USER:

	Any interested party, but primarily a new or learning heating
professional.  The program is simple to use, and is intended for an
inexperienced user who would like to find out how much heat will be
lost from a room.  The program may also be used by heating professionals
for business use, as it is quick and simple to use.

UNIQUE FEATURES OF THE PROGRAM:

	Most heat loss calculation programs are excessively complicated
and too expensive.  This program arrives at the same answers in an
easy manner, and the price is right for educational institutions and
the private non-professional.  It uses the IBR Heat Loss Method, from
The Hydronics Institute  35 Russo Place, Berkeley Heights  NJ 07922,
a highly respected method widely used in the heating industry.  It
is very accurate.	The Hydronics Institute is always prepared to
answer questions about the IBR method on its phone 201-464-8200.

LIMITATIONS:

	No known limitations or requirements.  
The program will run on less than 256k memory, one disk drive, and a
monochrome monitor.

HOW TO START THE PROGRAM:

	Type IBR at the DOS prompt.  Such as: >IBR
	Then press the ENTER key.
		The IBR batch file will load the in-memory help screens
		and then run the IBRSTUDY.EXE heat loss program.

REGISTRATION FEE:	$20.00 US
