    ----- RELEASE STATUS ---------------------------------------------------

    Information about the changes and additions included in this release
    can be found in the CHANGES file, or from the Administration menu within
    the portal.


    ----- REQUIREMENTS -----------------------------------------------------

    SPT and CWIS require Apache with PHP 4.0.6 and MySQL 3.23 or later.
    PHP must be installed with MySQL support.

    This version of SPT/CWIS is being developed with Apache 2.0.40, PHP
    4.2.2, and MySQL 3.23.56.  It should work with earlier versions of
    Apache and earlier 4.x versions of PHP, but these specific versions are
    recommended if possible.  (Some early 4.x versions of PHP have bugs
    that may impair SPT functionality in minor ways.)


    ----- INSTALLATION -----------------------------------------------------

    Before beginning installation of SPT/CWIS, you should have six pieces of
    information:

      - the directory on the web server where the software is to be 
            installed,
      - the URL (web address) that will be used to reach this directory,
      - the host name of the system running your MySQL database server,
      - the user name and password for logging into that MySQL server, and
      - the name of the database on that MySQL server to use when storing
            SPT data.

    If you don't know any of these, your system administrator should be able
    to help you.

    Once you have the above information and have downloaded the two SPT/CWIS
    distribution files (spt-1.2.0.tgz and sptinstall-1.2.0 , or cwis-1.0.0.tgz
    and cwisinstall-1.0.0), place those files in a directory on your web
    server and begin the installation with the appropriate command:

          ./sptinstall-1.2.0*
	  
    or
    
          ./cwisinstall-1.0.0*

    (Note:  After downloading the distribution files you may need to make
    the install script executable with the command "chmod a+x sptinstall*".)

    The install script will ask you for the information you gathered above,
    and then direct you to a web page where you can complete the installation.


    ----- CONTACT INFORMATION ----------------------------------------------

    To report bugs, or if you have questions for the SPT/CWIS development
    team, you can send e-mail to "SPTSupport@scout.wisc.edu" or
    "CWISSupport@scout.wisc.edu".  Please keep in mind that although we
    definitely want your feedback, CWIS and SPT are not commercial products
    and as such Scout does not have the resources to offer Technical Support.


    Thanks for taking the time to read through this!
