READ ME FILE FOR MATHCAD 6.0 PATCH PROGRAM

**Mathcad PLUS 6.0 Domestic********* 
**Patch for Mathcad and help files**

To run the Mathcad 6.0 patch program, you will need to 
know where your Mathcad program files are located. By 
default these files are installed by the Mathcad 
installation program in the C:\WINMCAD directory. 
If you are unsure about where your Mathcad program 
files are located, search for the directory that 
contains the Mathcad program MCAD.EXE.

If you have moved Mathcad program files to new 
directories after Mathcad installation, see the 
CUSTOM PATCH INSTRUCTIONS at the end of this file.

NOTE: The patch program will not make any changes to
any Mathcad MCD, PRN, DAT, or AVI files you have created. 
You may safely leave your working Mathcad files in any 
directories where the patch is taking place.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

1. Open a DOS Prompt window in your version of Windows.

2. Type the following command at the command prompt:

	A:\PATCH C:\WINMCAD A:\MCAD.RTP

Substitute in the command string the name of the 
directory where the patch program is located if it 
is not in A:\. Substitute a full path to your 
installation of Mathcad 6.0 if it is not located in 
the C:\WINMCAD directory. For example,

	C:\MYSETUP\PATCH C:\MYMCAD C:\MYSETUP\MCAD.RTP

3. The patch program will make changes to MCAD.EXE and 
several other Mathcad program files. When the program 
terminates, you may exit the DOS Prompt to return to Windows.

4. Launch Mathcad as you normally would. You will know that 
the patch has taken effect if you see the letter "b" after 
your serial number on the Mathcad start-up screen.

If you have difficulty using the patch program, contact 
MathSoft Technical Support. In the U.S. and Canada, phone 
970-339-7119 or 303-339-7119, or send e-mail to 
support@mathsoft.com. Elsewhere, contact your local support 
center, or send e-mail to help@mathsoft.com.

CUSTOM PATCH INSTRUCTIONS

If you have moved Mathcad program files from their original
installed locations, you may patch the program files
individually. If you are able to patch your Mathcad files 
using the instructions above, however, you should not need 
to do this and may safely ignore all that follows.

For example, if you want to patch the file FOO.BAR which 
is in the directory \FOODIR you type

	A:\PATCH /file:FOO.BAR \FOODIR A:\MCAD.RTP

assuming that the program PATCH.EXE is located in A:\.
