                 Package Designer version 1.0

***************************************************************
The Package Designer is a Windows-based system intended to help
determine the packaging requirements for items.  The packaging
requirements include consideration of the type and amount of
cushioning required for safe transportation.  The cushioning
requirements must take into account the peak acceleration that
the package might experience during transportation and the
possible height from which the item may be dropped during
transportation.  Using the Package Designer will facilitate the
design of safe item packaging.

              HOW TO INSTALL THE PACKAGE DESIGNER?
***************************************************************
Installing the Package Designer is very easy using the 
setup program provided (SETUP.EXE).  If SETUP.EXE is not 
present in your set of Package Designer files, then you 
received an incomplete set of the Package Designer files and
the Package Designer cannot be installed properly. Contact 
AFPTEF or your MIS department.  (The AFPTEF address can be found
at the end of this file).  If you are installing the Package
Designer on a network drive, read the additional instructions
at the end of this section.

To install the Package Designer, follow these steps:  From your 
Windows Program Manager, choose "File" in the menu bar and then
choose "Run" from the displayed pull down menu.  In the dialog
box type the full path to Package Designer's files, and the 
program name SETUP.EXE.  For example, if you were installing 
from drive A:, you would enter "A:\SETUP.EXE".  If you were 
installing from drive B:, you would enter "B:\SETUP.EXE".
After the installation program is started, follow the
instructions displayed in each dialog.  Once the Package 
Designer is successfully installed, a Package Designer group 
will be added to Windows.

Network Installation:  If you are installing the Package 
Designer on a network drive, then installation of the Package 
Designer files is identical to the local installation, but 
there are additional network rights requirements.  For a 
network installation, install the Package Designer software 
on the desired network drive.  Ensure that if Windows is 
installed on the network, the installer must have rights to 
place files in the WINDOWS and WINDOWS\SYSTEM directories.  
After the software is installed, create a group called 
something like "Package Designer Users", and assign Read, 
Create, Erase, Modify rights and optionally assign File Scan 
rights.  Add the Package Designer usernames to the Package 
Designer Group.
