This version is a 3.6 version. It is a considerable extension of v. 3  with
many new features added.

1. Hardware requirements:
   This program runs under DOS on most of the PC compatible computers
   with or without arithmetic coprocessor.

2. Major changes and new features:

    - sorption isosters of a solid can be plotted on psychrometric charts 
      instead of relative humidity lines,
    - explosivity data are available in the Calculator and on Grosvenor chart,
    - additional symbols are possible in script files,
    - three screen colors are possible
      Note: when gray is selected PROCESS will additionally produce a script 
      file for post-processing,
    - solving fickian diffusion with shrinkage is now possible in TIME,
    - new form of sorption isotherm plot has been added (X vs. water activity)
    - about 10 new sorption isotherm equations have been added,
    - the dependence of diffusivity in solid on moisture content and tempera-
      ture can be calculated according to one of ca. 10 diffusivity equations,
    - cross-flow model has been changed from the equilibrium to the kinetic one,
    - parallel processing controlled by internal fickian diffusion is now
      possible in PARALLEL.

3. Distribution diskette of dryPAK v.3.6 contains:

          DP.EXE        LIBCONV.EXE         A_READ.ME
                        GASLIB0.TXT         GAS0.LIB
      DRYPAK.INI        LIQLIB0.TXT         LIQ0.LIB
      DRYPAK.HLP        SLDLIB0.TXT         SLD0.LIB
                        FUELIB0.TXT         FUE0.LIB
      
      Exemplary files in three directories:

      DP_PRB : problem files to load and run
      DP_SCR : script files to process by CHART\SCRIPT
      DP_REP : report files to FILES\VIEW.

4. During a hard disk installation open a new catalog and copy all files
   and directories to it. Change paths to library files in DRYPAK.INI.
   The actual configuration is suitable for running dryPAK from the
   actual directory.    Pay attention that the first character of a new
   path starts exactly in column 30.

5. If you want to run the program from a floppy drive make sure that your
   diskette is not write protected as certain procedures write intermediate
   results to disk.

6. To run a program on a network with a single fileserver (e.g. Novell LAN)
   install all files on a file server. Copy DRYPAK.INI and GAS0.LIB to all
   user catalogs. Change gas library path in each DRYPAK.INI so it points
   to the actual user catalog. When dryPAK is started from a user catalog
   it will first read DRYPAK.INI from the local catalog and will recognize
   local gas library. In this way the local gas library may be individually
   modified by MIXTURE and all intermediate results of PARALLEL and CROSS
   will be dumped and later read from the local catalog causing no conflict
   with other users.
   If the local DRYPAK.INI file is not present the program will read the
   information from the main DRYPAK.INI file.
