Packing List: (The following files make up this program)
HamlinReadme.txt (This file)
Hamlin.xla (The Excel add-in file)
Hamlin.hlp (Help file)

Installation Instructions:
General -  
In order to install the add-in file "Hamlin.xla" should be copied to the Library where the other add-in files are located and the help file "Hamlin.hlp" file should be copied to the directory where the other Excel help files are located.  Because the location of these files differs from version to version and sometimes machine to machine specific instructions to help you locate these directories are included below.

For Excel* for Windows 95* (Excel 7.0)-
Follow these steps:
If Excel is installed in the default directory on the C Drive:
copy Hamlin.xla to c:\MSOffice\Excel\Library
copy Hamlin.hlp to c:\MSOffice\Excel

For Excel 97*
copy Hamlin.xla to c:\Program Files\MSOffice\Excel\Library
copy Hamlin.hlp to c:\Program Files\MSOffice\Excel

For Excel 2000*
copy Hamlin.xla to c:\Program Files\MSOffice\Excel\Library
copy Hamlin.hlp to c:\Program Files\MSOffice\Excel

If you don't know your version or for some reason Excel* is not installed in the above directories:
Click the Windows Start button at the bottom of the screen (or on your keyboard). 
Click Find Files or Folders
Type *.xla in the "Named" box and select Find Now.
If necessary click and drag the edge of the "In Folder" box to make that column large enough so that the full path of where the files are located can be seen.
Copy Hamlin.xla in the main Library folder where other xla files are located (avoid copying into subfolders like "Analysis", "Solver" or "MSQuery" if possible)
Copy Hamlin.hlp into the parent folder to the Library folder.

After copying the files, the add-in can be activated within Excel.  Enter Excel and from the tools menu bar select addin (Tools- Addin).  Under "Addins Available" click on Hamlin and the add-in is now activated so that the functions are available.  The functions may be typed in or activated from the Function key. To test the installation, type HAMLININFO("v") in a cell.  The version of the Hamlin addin should appear.

If for some reason the Hamlin tool does not appear in the "Addins Available" selection choices then it is probably located in the wrong directory.  Try to follow the above procedures to find appropriate directory and move it there.  Alternatively, within Excel after choosing "Tools - Addin" you can select the Browse button to locate Hamlin.xla when it does not appear in the "Addins Available" selection choices.

After installation, help files on the functions should be available through the "function wizard" (f* button).  Hamlin functions are listed under Financial Functions.  If you get the message that the help function can not be found, Hamlin.hlp file is probably in the wrong directory.  You can move it to the correct directory or within Excel browse to locate it.  The contents of this help file can also be activated by clicking on it within Windows Explorer* or any other Windows menu.

Please note that worksheets using functions from Hamlin's Financial Function Spread Sheet Addin will not function on other computers unless these addins are installed on those machines as well.
