The IBM/Windows version of PREPRO2012 comes with executable codes, 
in compressed form.
 
1) Copy IBMPC.tar.gz to your hard drive. First uncompress and untar - we 
     recommend you use 7-zip, which is available FREE on the internet, or any 
     similar uncompression code that you may have. After installation you should 
     have a single directory named PREPRO12 that contains 42 files; you can then
     delete IBMPC.tar.gz
 
2) To VERIFY proper installation, it is recommended that after installation 
     you execute VERIFY.BAT (Be sure to type the entire name, VERIFY.BAT,
     to avoid a conflict wth the DOS verify command). This is a batch file that 
     will run the codes in sequence.
 
3) The final two codes will display the calculated cross sections (EVALPLOT),
     and compare the results you calculated to a standard set of results (COMPLOT).
     Difference of about 1 % to 2% are acceptable; larger differences indicate an 
     installation problem.

     If plots are displayed before the batch file (VERIFY.BAT) finished, the entire
     system has been verified and is ready to use. If you do not obtain plots, there
     was an ERROR during installation; in this case 4) below.
 
4) If you have any problems notify the Nuclear Data Section, IAEA, Vienna, Austria.
