How to install xppaut for windows

1. If you do not have an X-server installed, then you should install
one of the two I have included on the CD. There is X-win32 demo (which
works very nicely for 2 hours at a time and then yoiu have to close
your work and restart the server) and there is the Mix server which is
free but is pretty ugly.  
	a. Here is how to install the X-win32. Copy it into a
	temporary place, like your DeskTop.
	b. Click on it to start the installation
	c. That's it; it is installed.
2. Copy xppwin5.9.zip to your desktop
3. Unzip it (WinZip or some other tool) into C:\ (This is important
   since the batch file uses absolute paths)
4. When you are done, you should have a new folder C:\xppall 
5. Create a shortcut on your Desktop to the file in C:\xppall called xpp.bat


How to run xppaut    

1. xpp requires a file to run called an "ode" file that has a complete
   description  of the equations etc. You can change these inside XPP,
   but they still need to be defined.

2. First you want to make a folder that will hold your ODE
files. Create a new file called "myodes" for example.

3. Open NOTEPAD or some other text editor and type in the the
following lines:

s'=1
x'=sin(x)-sin(s)
@ xp=s,yp=x,xlo=-1,xhi=20,ylo=-2,yhi=2
done

The first two lines are the equations and the last closes the
file. The penultimate line tells XPP about the window. You don't need
this as it can be set up inside XPP, but this is easier.

4. Save the file in your folder myodes calling it class1

5. Start the X-server in the Start menu (Programs -> Xwin32 5.1 ->
X-Win32. Choose Evaluation, Continue, and then Cancel. (This avoids
all sorts junk but starts the server). A little X should appear in the
task bar. 

6. Open the Myode folder. Grab class1 and drop it into the shortcut to
XPP on your desktop. This should fire it up.

7. If the file is bad, a command window will hang around and tell you
the problem.

8. Quit XPP by clicking on the yellow Quit button or clicking
File-Quit
