using Microsofts' Visual Basic and Microsofts' Access Database Engine.

Listed below are the features provided by the previous versions which are
also included in version  2.0.5;

Print airfoils sections in metric or imperial dimensions.
Print one per page or automatically adjust  to print more than one per page.
Print airfoils for a range of chord lengths.
Print airfoil name, grid, chord length and coordinates.
Print to the windows clipboard.
Store airfoil lift, drag and pitching moment coefficients for airfoil 
comparison and selection.
Export airfoil data for input into other programs.
Online help.
Context sensitive Help. Press the Function Key F1 to select help on the 
currently selected feature within WINFOIL or press the HELP button.
Faster screen redraws
Improved user interface - toolbars
Print Airfoils larger than page size.
CAD like user interface screens to design wings and airfoils
Design wings or tails of any shape. Winfoil will automatically determine
rib lengths.
Airfoil thickness shown
Airfoil thickness variation allowed for printing.
Different airfoil sections can be selected for a wing design. Winfoil will
automatically print the airfoil sections along the span.
Automatic calculation of area, aspect ratio and mean aerodynamic chord.
Comments can now be entered for each airfoil.
Airfoil data import capability.
Horizontal and vertical tail sizing calculations for conventional aircraft
configurations.
Reynolds number calculation in air and water.
Print wing planform . Left , right or both panels.
Print wing specifications and rib lengths.

Enter wing coordinates from the keyboard
DXF file output for airfoils and ribs

The following new features are provided with version 2.0.5;

Soartech Airfoil Coordinate Import capability.
Enhanced Airfoil editing.


There are no restricted functions in the unregistered version and full 
online help is provided. Ten airfoils are provided in the unregistered

Winfoil runs on any IBM or 100% compatible with the Intel 386,
486 or Pentium CPU and requires Windows 3.1, Windows 3.11 or Windows NT.
At least 4 MB of memory and 3.5 MB of hard disk space is required.
Graphics modes supported are; EGA , VGA , 8514/A and Hercules.
Winfoil will print to any Windows supported printer and can run on a 
network.



   
Installation
------------



1. You will need to modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to run the DOS SHARE
   utility.After the path statement which has C:\DOS in it add the following
   line before the WIN command that starts Windows:

           SHARE /L:500 /F:5100

   If the /L or the /F setting to SHARE has a larger value than listed here, 
   leave the setting as it is rather than reducing it.

   Save the file and restart your computer.
   If you do not have an AUTOEXEC.BAT file, type C:\DOS\SHARE as a line
   in a text file and save it as AUTOEXEC.BAT then restart your computer.

2. Run SETUP.EXE either by double clicking on the file whilst in FILE
   MANAGER or by using the RUN command from the FILE menu in PROGRAM MANAGER
   
   eg; A:\SETUP
	 
   Select the source directory, Click on the CONTINUE button.
   Select the destination directory, Click on the CONTINUE button.
   You will be prompted to insert disk 2 after all disk 1 files are
   installed. You can cancel the installation process by clicking on the
   CANCEL button. 	 


Bug Fixes and Enhancements
--------------------------

17/1/95	Fixed Wing List 'Change Wing' function. Would only work if
	double clicked on the grid.

17/1/95 Airfoil List, Coordinate List and Wing List are now sized 
	according to the screen resolution. When Winfoil is run in 
	SVGA and XGA modes the grids and buttons resize proportionally.

19/1/95 Another fix required for screen sizing at different screen 
	resolutions.

19/1/95 Wing Cad Undo function (trash can icon) fixed. Was not undoing
	change until clicked a second time.
	Fixed mouse positioning when stretching a selected coordinate	
	pair at high screen resolutions, was shifting the cursor left.

14/2/95 Fix Registration form printing. Was defaulting to 5.25 disk.
	Also fixed switching to a different application when exiting
	this form.

21/2/95 New DLL added (Winflprt) to stop printing problem on networks.
	Setup program modified to copy files to destination directory
	if copy to windows system directory is unsuccessful after
	version checking.

10/4/95	Fix printing of wings. Sometimes 'array element' error was 
	occuring.

11/4/95	Added DXF file output for ribs and airfoils. DXF files can be
	read by other CAD programs (AutoCAD).  

6/5/95  Added Soartech Airfoil import capability. Shifted Import and
	Export functions to the FILE menu.
	Enhanced Airfoil editing in AIRFOIL CAD screen. Can now select
	coordinates for deletion or modification.
	120 Airfoils provided for registered version.

13/5/95 Fix airfoil coordinate edit screen. Fix airfoil coordinate 
	delete function. Was previously using xupper coordinate
	as the index for selecting the coordinate. Aifoil Coordinate
	database table is indexed on the lower x coordinate.

22/7/95 Version 2.0.5 release. New version handles different International
	language settings correctly. Printing of airfoils to DXF files
	fixed in Print Airfoil Screen. Camber and chord line plotted 
	on screen.

19/8/95 DXF file output fixed. Continuous lines incorrectly spelt. Autocad
	would not load the file. However DXF file would load in other CAD
	programs such as TurboCad.

22/8/95 Vertical Tail sizing Graph was showing incorrect values when mouse
	clicked on graph for metric tail sizes.
