INSTALLATION

This is comprised of two separate programs: ResNet.exe and Program.exe. ResNet.exe must be 
executed first. Then it will automatically execute Program.exe once it gathers all of the 
relevant information from the user. 

To install, create a "ResNet" folder directly on the "C" drive. This folder must be 
installed onto the "C" drive as "C:\\ResNet".  The reason for this is that when 
ResNet.exe closes, it calls "C:\\ResNet\\Program.exe" to execute. So, if Program.exe is 
not in that location, ResNet.exe will not know where to find it. This will be
modified in the future to allow the user to specify the location of the "ResNet" folder
upon installing both programs.

If you have downloaded the zip file, "ResNet.zip", then simply place ResNet.zip into the
ResNet folder and double-click on the icon. Then, click on the "Extract" button. It will 
prompt the user to extract to "C:\\Resnet". Click "Extract" again, and the three items, 
ResNet.exe, Program.exe, and the Resnet Manual (version 1.1) will be extracted into the 
folder. 

Please note the following shortcoming of the present version of Interface.exe: 
Any filename that the user enters into the interface (and, moreover, the names of 
and folder under which the file is located)  must not have any
blank spaces in it. So, for example, a cell file called "C:\\game mammals" will 
not be printed appropriately, and will cause the program to stop. The file must be 
renamed: "C:\\game_mammals" in order to be read in appropriately (similarly with, e.g.,  
"C:\\data folder\\game_mammals") This will be modified in the future to allow the user 
to input file names with blank spaces. 


DATA TRANSFER
ResNet.exe will create a temporary log file in the C drive,
"C:\\ResNet\\temporary log file.txt", in which it will print out the user's input. 
When Program.exe is executed, it will open "C:\\ResNet\\temporary log file.txt" and scan
in all of the information. The temporary log file takes the following form:

Input Cell File					Filename
Attribute Target File				Filename	
Log File					Filename
Log File Format					1/0
Basic GIS Output File				Filename

Number of Cells					Cell Number
Number of Attributes				Attribute Number

Pre_existing Set				1/0

...
Masked Cell File (n)				Filename



Although it is called "temporary", it will not be automatically deleted when 
ResNet closes. Moreover, once this file has been created, then if one wants to 
re-run ResNet with the same information, one need not re-enter all of the data 
into ResNet.exe, but may execute Program.exe directly.
