| The propagation modules VOACAPW.EXE, ICEPACW.EXE, or REC533W.EXE cannot be   |
| executed individually unless you have created the proper formated data input |
| file. You can execute:                                                       |
|   POINTWIN.EXE (point-to-point interface)                                    |
|   AREAWIN.EXE  (area coverage  interface)                                    |
|   SI_WIN.EXE   (signal-to-interference interface)                            |
|   AREAINV.EXE  (inverse area coverage interface)                             |
|   HFANTWIN.EXE (antenna interface)                                           |
| individually from this directory.                                            |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| If you create your own input files in the proper formats, you can use the    |
| examples below as to how to execute the various propagation modules.         |
| The examples below are given for VOACAP.  To make it run for ICEPAC or       |
| REC533, just substitute the desired model for VOACAP                         |

|   VOACAPW.EXE [S] directory inputfile outputfile       (P-P graph)           |

|   VOACAPW.EXE [S] directory BATCH                      (P-P batch)           |
|   VOACAPW.EXE [S] directory BATCH deckname.dat         (P-P NEW batch)       |

|   VOACAPW.EXE [S] directory CIRAF pathname             (CIRAF single)        |
| where:                                                                       |
|   [S]       = SILENT, then no messages are written to output window          |
|               [S] means either put in SILENT or nothing.                     |
|   directory = full pathname to the install directory (e.g. c:\ITSHFBC)       |
|   method    = (CALC/SCREEN/PRINT)                                            |
|   pathname  = pathname below directory\AREADATA\ of input data file          |
|                 (e.g. DEFAULT\DEFAULT.VOA)                                   |
|   deckname.dat = a proper formated input "card" deck.                        |
|                                                                              |
| The input and output files for point-to-point runs will be in the            |
|            ..\RUN directory.                                                 |
|                                                                              |
| You will probably need to also include the full pathname to the EXE file.    |
| Thus, using the default installation directory, the P-P circuit would be:    |
|                                                                              |

| Note: Not all options will work for REC533 (e.g. distance, time, & INVERSE)  |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| The only options you probably want to use are:                               |
