Requirements Installation
Instructions Windows 3.1 Windows
95 Installation Options Typical versus Compact Installation. You
will be asked to make this choice during the initial installation.
Typical installation may require as much as 25 MB of hard disk space on
some systems. It is not required or necessary that you choose the
typical installation, but this option does provide the best performance
by moving the most frequently used files to the hard disk. The compact
option saves 6.5 MB of space at installation by waiting to copy files
to the hard disk only when they are needed. For most users, we suggest
the typical installation. See the README.TXT file on the CD-ROM for
more information. A web version of the README.TXT file is also available.
Once all the necessary files have been copied to your hard disk, you
will be prompted to launch the program. The first time you do this, you
will be asked to make several other choices regarding installation
options. Professional versus Instructional Version
Option. The authors of the CD-ROM recognize that, although all the
information recovered in an archaeological excavation has scientific
importance, it may be inappropriate to display or view some of that
information, such as photographs of human bones, in a public or
instructional context. Therefore, we have provided two installation
options. The Professional version provides access to all of the
information contained on the CD-ROM about the site; the Instructional
version provides access to all of the information except for
photographs of human burials. Archaeologists using this CD-ROM as a
scholarly reference may wish to load the Professional version; teachers
using it in a classroom should load the Instructional version. Color Mode Option. In Windows, it is possible
to employ a variety of graphic modes. These modes describe how many
pixels are displayed on your screen (screen resolution) and how many
colors your screen can display at one time (color depth). This
software was written for a screen resolution of at least 640 x 480
pixels and a color depth of at least 256 colors. We have included a
second set of full-color photographs that exploit the superior display
properties provided by video modes with a color depth of more than 256
colors (e.g., 65,000 or 16.7 million colors). If you are running
Windows at a color depth of less than 256 colors, the installation
program will notify you. You must then change your color depth before
you can run the software. For more information, see the section labeled
"Changing Windows Graphics Modes" in the README.TXT file on the CD-ROM
or click here. If you are running at a
color depth of 256 colors, you have two options at installation: (1)
you can set the software to assume that you will always be running at
256 colors; or (2) you can set the software to check every time you
start it to see if you are running with more colors and, if so, to give
you the option of using them. If you are running at a color depth
of greater than 256 colors, you have three options: (1) you can have
the software assume that you will always be running in this high-color
mode; (2) you can have the software always use just 256 colors (the
quality of the photographs will not be as high, but the photographs
will load and display faster); or (3) you can have the software give
you a choice every time you run it. Screen Resolution
Option. This software was written to support a graphics mode of 640
x 480 pixels. This is the lowest resolution in standard Windows
operations and the most common mode for the majority of users. The
report is not designed to display in larger dimensions. If you run
Windows in a higher resolution mode (e.g., 800 x 600 pixels or 1028 x
768 pixels), the report will appear smaller on your screen. If
you are running at these higher resolutions, the software will notify
you. Your only option is to change Windows to a different graphics
resolution. For more information, see the section labeled "Changing
Windows Graphics Modes" in the README.TXT file on the CD-ROM or click here. Font Size Option.
If you are running Windows 3.1, your video mode can be set to display
small or large fonts. This software has been designed to run under
the small fonts option, which is the case for software running on
the overwhelming majority of computers using Windows. If you are
running in a large fonts mode the setup program will warn you. You must
change the video mode to small fonts in order to use this application.

Graphics Modes" in the README.TXT file on the CD-ROM or click here.
