+<h2><font color="#EC5E5E"><strong>New installation method</strong></font></h2>\r
+\r
+<p> Until June 2004 the installation did consist in a zip file which\r
+had to be extracted in the directory of your choice. But with version\r
+0.97b IMaCh we are using a windows installer (Inno setup). Both\r
+executables <tt>imach.exe</tt> and <tt>gnuplot.exe</tt> (the grapher\r
+that we are using) have to be on the same directory.\r
+\r
+<br> In order to facilitate the use of IMaCh we associated the .imach\r
+extension to two features: editing and running. Thus by right clicking\r
+on a foo.imach file you can either 'edit'the file (default) with\r
+the notepad editor or 'run' it with gnuplot (you need a recent version).<br>\r
+\r
+ But we discovered that on some computers, people are not allowed\r
+ to modify the windows registry and need to have Administrator privileges.\r
+\r
+ <br>\r
+ Thus we built two windows installer: a standard setup which will install\r
+ the progam (usually in <tt>\Program Files\imach</tt> and will\r
+ modify the registry to associate <tt>.imach</tt> extension to notepad and imach, and a\r
+ second which will not alter the registry. With this second installer you\r
+ will be able to install the programs in your home directory and\r
+ run it by clicking on the imach.exe icon. But you won't be able\r
+ to use the facility of the right clicking.\r
+</p>\r
+\r
+<ul>\r
+ <li>Download latest <font size="2" face="Courier New"><strong>imach-0.97b-setup.exe</strong></font>\r
+ and execute it .</li>\r
+ <li>Different sub-directories are created:\r
+ <ul>\r
+ <li>doc: most of the documentation. The main document\r
+ is <a href="doc/imach.htm">doc/imach.htm</a> .</li>\r
+ <ul> Here are also two data files:<font size="4"\r
+ face="Times New Roman"> </font><ul>\r
+ <li><font face="Courier New">data1.txt</font>\r
+ which is the main data file on which the\r
+ program has been run as the example in\r
+ the main documentation.</li>\r
+ <li><font face="Courier New">mydata.txt </font>a\r
+ smaller data file which you can use for\r
+ your own trial.</li>\r

+ <li>bin: <ul> <li><font face="Courier">imach.exe</font>\r
