-<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

-\r
-<ul>\r
- <li>Download latest <font size="2" face="Courier New"><strong>imach-0.97b-setup.exe</strong></font>\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

- program has been run as the example in\r
- the main documentation.</li>\r
