RILSIM Options Page (Blue Ox Forestry)

RILSIM is provided free of charge under any of the options listed in the following table. Before you select one of the options, please review RILSIM's system requirements (shown below the table) to make sure the software is compatible with your computer.

Option	Description	Notes
1.	Order the CD-ROM with printed User's Guide	This is the most complete package available. Delivery is by postal mail.
2.	Choose a one-step installation module to download	Install RILSIM from a single installation module that you download from the Internet. *Because the download file is quite large, this option is not* recommended if you have a dialup connection to the Internet.**
3.	Choose a two-step installation module to download	Install RILSIM from two smaller installation modules that you download from the Internet. Because of the smaller download size, this option is recommended instead of option 2 if you have a dialup connection to the Internet.

RILSIM System Requirements

RILSIM has been designed to run on the majority of personal computers that are in common use around the world. Considerable effort has been taken to ensure that the software is compatible with the relatively modest computing hardware often available in developing countries.

Nevertheless, RILSIM won't run on every computer. Before installing the software, you should make sure that your computer meets the following minimum requirements:

The computer must run a 32-bit version of the Microsoft® Windows® operating system. This means it must have Windows 95 or later. At present the operating systems that will support RILSIM include Windows 95, 98, Me, NT 4.0, 2000, and XP. RILSIM should also run without problems if installed on a server running Windows Server 2003, but this has not been explicitly tested.
If the operating system is Windows NT, then the version must be 4.0 or later. In addition, certain of RILSIM's optional capabilities require NT 4.0 to have been upgraded with Service Pack 4 or later. RILSIM's installation program checks this before allowing these options to be selected.
Your computer system should have at least 40 Mbytes of disk space available during the installation process. The software and related files require a permanent allocation of about 25 Mbytes of disk space.
Your computer should have at least 24 Mbytes of random-access memory and a Pentium-class processor operating at 75 MHz or faster. Systems that exceed these requirements will of course operate faster and can run larger simulation models. Note: "Pentium-class" processors include the Celeron processor and any Pentium-compatible processors such as those produced by AMD, Transmeta, and VersaLogic.
