    I still can't get this program to install. It gets as far as the
    THREED.VBX file and then tells me "THREED.VBX could not be installed".
    Any hints?

	The only thing I can think of is that the THREED.VBX 
file on your floppy is corrupt. This may have happened during
the transfer of the files from the VAX to your floppy. I have
copied the files two differnt ways to the floppy and intsalled
them to my PC. Both of these methods worked.

	Method 1 Use pathworks.
	The VAX name is VAXDEM and its address is 12.548

	Define the name in your NCP Database on your PC

	NCP DEF NODE 12.548 NAME VAXDEM MS

	Connect to PCCOMMON on VAXDEM

	USE G: \\VAXDEM\PCCOMMON

	COPY G:\MOTWIZ\*.* A:


	Method 2 Use NFT

	Define VAXDEM in your NCP database as in method 1 then

	NFT COPY/BLOCK VAXDEM"GUEST"::$1$DIA1:[PUBLIC.MTRCMP]*.* A:\


Once you have gotten the files on a floppy run windows and then from the 
program manager click on file then run  a:\setup.

	I have just released Motor Wizard Version T1.4.

	This release has more refinements and I have added
a Motor list that will list several motors for each class of
motor that is recommended. See .3 for instructions on how to obtain
it.

what does this pgm do?

tx

md

	This prograsm will predict the type of electric motor and
number of cells necessary to power a model whose specs you enter
into the program.

	Example:

	Suppose you are looking through the Tower catalog and you
see a nifty Glow powered aircraft you would like to build as an electric. 

	No problem, just enter the weight of the model and the 
wingspan and chord (or the wing square inches) and the software will
display the motor that should be used, the number of cells, the stall
speed, flight speed and a prop graph that will help you select the proper
prop. In addition, a list of motors and current prices that fit the 
specifications of the motor that was calculated can be listed.

	Announcing Version T1.5 of Motor WIzard.

	I have added an Advanced section that will plot power
curves for motors that you know your armature resistance of. It will
also plot a line for motor efficiency verses current.

	I have added a section that will produce RPM redictions on
motors that you know your armature resistance and "K".

				Enjoy

	Announcing Version T1.6 

	This version corrects a few bugs.

	Added a power graph that will plot power if you know armature 
	resistance

	Added an efficeincy graph that will plot efficiency if you know 
	armature resistence.

	Added a graph that will plot RPM against current if you know
	"K" and armature resistance. ( the help file tells you how to determine
	"K" and armature resistance).

	
	Added a graph that plots power against rpm of a prop ( you enter the
	prop size and pitch).

	Added even more help.


	I have written a user manual, should I make it available ?
	

	Announcing Motor Wizard Version T1.7

	As requested I have added the ability to turn on and off
        grids on all the graphs.

	I added a Thrust graph that will plot thrust in ounces against
        RPM you enter the prop pitch and diameter.

	Announcing MotorWizard Version T1.8

	I have changed the way I am distributing MotorWizard. It is now in a
self extracting file called MW.EXE. It is still located in the same places.

	If you have pathworks you can connect to \\VAXDEM\PCCOMMON  MW.EXE
is in the MOTWIZ subdirectory.

	If you wish you can use NFT to copy  the file

	NFT COPY /BLOCK Vaxdem"GUEST"::$1$DIA1:[PUBLIC.MTRCMP]MW.EXE  c:\TEMP

	I have added More Help and More graphs

				Larry

	Announcing Version T1.9 of MotorWizard.

	This version repairs many bugs and incorporates many
nice new subtle features. It also has More motors in the Motor Lists.
