-Installation
+New installation method
-Since the program produces many output files, we suggest to
-have a separate directory for imach. A classical installation for Windows is on Program Files\imach
+
Until June 2004 the installation did consist in a zip file which
+had to be extracted in the directory of your choice. But with version
+0.97b IMaCh we are using a windows installer (Inno setup). Both
+executables imach.exe and gnuplot.exe (the grapher
+that we are using) have to be on the same directory.
+
+
In order to facilitate the use of IMaCh we associated the .imach
+extension to two features: editing and running. Thus by right clicking
+on a foo.imach file you can either 'edit'the file (default) with
+the notepad editor or 'run' it with gnuplot (you need a recent version).
+
+ But we discovered that on some computers, people are not allowed
+ to modify the windows registry and need to have Administrator privileges.
+
+
+ Thus we built two windows installer: a standard setup which will install
+ the progam (usually in \Program Files\imach and will
+ modify the registry to associate .imach extension to notepad and imach, and a
+ second which will not alter the registry. With this second installer you
+ will be able to install the programs in your home directory and
+ run it by clicking on the imach.exe icon. But you won't be able
+ to use the facility of the right clicking.
