-----------------------------
The purpose of this release is for platform testing only.
So far this software has been tested on win2k with nVidia 7.52 drivers.
This software requires an openGL 1.2 driver installed. It will work with
microsoft's software openGL driver (allegedly).
This release is a 'viewer' rather than an editor.
After starting the application you should see the centre panel shows blue/green
horizon. If you can't see this then openGL isn't working, please contact me
(Simon George) with your system spec.
