IMBROGLIO ZROS 1.0 HELP DOCUMENT
---------------------------------

Zros, the main non-linear equation solver in the Abscissatron package, is
truly unique. It is safe to claim that no other free application available
can match its sheer power. The program solves real-coefficient equations of
up to 100 degrees, and equations with imaginary coefficients of up to 50
degrees. The only other software I know of that can do this is Mathematica.
It, however, costs several thousand dollars.

FEATURES:
---------
- The coefficients may be entered in...
	... decimal format (e.g. 123.4567890)
	... fractional format (e.g. 321/654 or 12.345/678.9)
            * note that the backslash must face forward ('/'), and there
              may be no empty spaces in the fraction
	... exponential form (e.g. 0.234E5 or 4567.890E-10)
	    
- The coefficients may be entered through the program or from a previously
  existing input file. The latter feature is much more useful to those who
  need to enter many equations.

- All equations entered may be easily saved, copied or cleared. Saved equations
  can be reopened from the startup window at a later time.

- Graphs of real-root equations can be easily and quickly created.

- Equations of up to 100 degrees can be created by supplying their roots to
  the Equation Creator. The leading coefficient entered will be the common
  multiplier for the equation's coefficients.

- If an equation with real coefficients was given, the arc length of its
  corresponding graphed function between two x-values can be found.

- To supply a value for 'x' with which to evauluate the equation, use the
  Evaluate Polynomial feature. Similarly, a table of (x,y) values can be produced
  from a given equation.

BUGS:
-----
- The solutions to high-order equations may be slightly incorrect do to the
  number and complexity of processes needed to solve them.
