ABOUT TRNZNREG:

      TRNZNREG is a computer assisted circuit design program for the design
   transistor zener voltage regulators . There are many circuits in 
   electronics that are a standard configuration.  The only difference is
   the component values, which are variable depending on what is required of
   the circuit.  Knowledge of the many electronic math formulas are required
   to get the component values right for the desired output of these standard
   circuit configurations.  It can take hours, days, even weeks of plugging
   numbers into these formulas to get the right component values.  Then the
   component values have to be rounded to the standard values available on
   the market.  Sometimes a prototype of the circuit must be built 
   (especially if all the formulas are not known) and then troubleshot to 
   get the right component values.  TRNZNREG eliminates all these problems.
   TRNZNREG does all the head work, knows all the formulas, and selects
   component values that are available on the market.  The electronics 
   hobbyist's dream come true!
   
Installation:

   Unzip the file TRNZNREG.zip to a temporary directory. Create a directory
   named TRNZNREG on the c:\ drive and copy or move all files to that 
   directory. NOTE: TRNZNREG must be installed on the c: drive because it 
   calls data files from the c:\ drive.  

OPERATING FROM DOS:
	
      TRNZNREG is a DOS program.  In the directory TRNZNREG find the file 
   TRNZNREG.BAT and move the file to the root directory (c:\).  All that is
   required to start the program is type TRNZNREG at the DOS prompt. If you 
   don't want this batch file in your root directory add TRNZNREG to the
   path statement in your autoexec.bat.  Again you will then just type 
   TRNZNREG at the DOS prompt.

OPERATING FROM WINDOWS 3.xx:
	
	In the TRNZNREG directory there is a file named TRNZNREG.ICO.
   TRNZNREG.ICO is the program icon.

SETTING UP IN WINDOWS:
   (1) Open the program group in program manager that you want to run
       TRNZNREG from.
   (2) Select File-New-Program Item.
   (3) In the program name box type TRNZNREG(what ever you want to name it).
   (4) In the command line box type C:\TRNZNREG\TRNZNREG.EXE
   (5) In the working directory box type C:\TRNZNREG
   (6) Select change icon button then the browse button. Go to the TRNZNREG
       directory then select TRNZNREG.ICO.  Click OK.
   (7) Double click the icon to run the program.

OPERATING FROM WINDOWS 95:
	
	When running TRNZNREG in Windows 95 it must be run in a DOS session.
    Otherwise it runs exactly the same as it does in DOS, and Windows 3.xx.

USING TRNZNREG:

   THESE CIRCUITS ARE NOT FOR USE IN LIFE SUPPORT OR LIFE CRITICAL SYSTEMS
   Do not use the tab key.  It will run the cursor and the blue input line
   across the screen. There's no print, save, or mouse features with this
   program.  This is the reason the program is only $10.00.
      There is no on line help in TRNZNREG.  All necessary information for 
   operation is on screen.  If an out of range, or improper value is entered
   the program will advise the user, and start that particular input request
   over again.
	Because there are so many possible outcomes from these circuits it
   is impossible to build and test the circuits.  The formulas used in
   calculating these circuits are proven electronic math formulas.

SHAREWARE COST:

	This software is shareware.  You can evaluate it for 30 days then
   you must pay for it, or stop using it.  This shareware incorporates a
   time lock and will stop functioning after 30 days from the time of
   installation.  Upon payment of $10.00(US) you will be sent the version of
   TRNZNREG with out the time lock.  The registered version can be sent to
   you by e-mail attachment (the preferred method) or by disk in the mail.
   Please add $2.00 shipping and handling if you require a disk in the mail.
