RILSIM User's Guide
Access the electronic version of the RILSIM 2.0 User's Guide in:
  • English
  • Français
  • Português
This requires Adobe® Reader® or other software that can read PDF files. If software with this capability has not yet been installed on your computer, you can get Adobe® Reader® for free from the Adobe website.
RILSIM Español—Guía de Usuario en francés o en portugués
RILSIM Español: Install the French or Portuguese version of the User's Guide in place of the installed English version. The RILSIM 2.0 User's Guide is not available in Spanish. The English version is installed with RILSIM Español but you can substitute either the French or Portuguese version by installing a patch module. The Portuguese module also installs the Portuguese version of the Tropical Forest Foundation's Cost/Benefit Report, which is only available in English and Portuguese. These patch modules only work with RILSIM Español.
RILSIM Français—Rapport sur Coûts et Avantages d'Exploitation avec Impact Réduit
RILSIM Français: Install the Portuguese version of the TFF Cost/Benefit Report in place of the installed English version. The Tropical Forest Foundation's report on the costs and benefits of reduced-impact logging is only available in English and Portuguese. The English version is automatically installed with RILSIM Français but if you prefer you can substitute the Portuguese version by installing this patch module. The patch module only works with RILSIM Français.
RILSIM Français—Operating system updates for Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8
RILSIM Français: Get the Microsoft patch for Windows Vista that will permit you to view WinHelp32 files. Windows Vista does not natively support WinHelp32, the help system used in previous versions of RILSIM and in RILSIM Français. If you want to install RILSIM Français under Windows Vista, you will need to download and install the patch in order to view the help files. Other language versions of RILSIM 2.02 do not require this patch because they use Html Help, which is supported natively by Windows Vista. Because the patch is applied to the operating system, it can only be obtained directly from Microsoft. This patch module only works with Windows Vista.
RILSIM Français: Get the Microsoft patch for Windows 7 that will permit you to view WinHelp32 files. Like Windows Vista, Windows 7 does not natively support WinHelp32, the help system used in previous versions of RILSIM and in RILSIM Français. If you want to install RILSIM Français under Windows 7, you will need to download and install the patch in order to view the help files. Other language versions of RILSIM 2.02 do not require this patch because they use Html Help, which is supported natively by Windows 7. Because the patch is applied to the operating system, it can only be obtained directly from Microsoft. This patch module only works with Windows 7.
RILSIM Français: Read about the Microsoft patch for Windows 8 that will permit you to view WinHelp32 files. Windows 8 does not natively support WinHelp32, the help system used in previous versions of RILSIM and in RILSIM Français. If you want to install RILSIM Français under Windows 8, you will need to download and install the patch in order to view the help files. Other language versions of RILSIM 2.02 do not require this patch because they use Html Help, which is supported natively by Windows 8. Because the patch is applied to the operating system, it can only be obtained directly from Microsoft. This patch module only works with Windows 8.
