This disk contains all the software necessary to run the Monte Carlo statistical programs that
accompany the book Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics by Claude Garrod. 
The program MC.EXE contains the display programs in IBM-compatible format. The
directory FORTPGMS contains all the Fortran programs mentioned in the text, all stored as
text files. The file EGAVGA.BGI provides an IBM-compatible graphics driver for the
displays.

To install this software onto your hard drive, follow these steps:

1. Create a top-level directory for this software on your hard drive. For example, if your hard
drive is named C:, enter the following at the DOS (C:\) prompt:

C:>MD \GARROD


2. Go to this new directory:

C:>CD \GARROD


3. Copy the MC.EXE file to the \GARROD directory:

C:\GARROD>COPY A:MC.EXE C:\GARROD\*.*


4. The Monte Carlo programs require a graphics driver to enable the displays. In order for the
software to access the graphics driver, the driver must be present in the same directory as the
MC.EXE file. Even if you already have a graphics driver, MC.EXE may not be able to locate
the driver in a different directory, such as the usual MS-DOS location in the \DRIVERS
directory. Therefore, you should make a copy of your preferred graphics driver and place it in
the same directory with MC.EXE or place the EGAVGA.BGI file provided on this disk in the
same directory with MC.EXE. For example, enter the following command to place the
EGAVGA.BGI file provided on this disk in the \GARROD directory created in Step #1:

C:\GARROD>COPY A:EGAVGA.BGI C:\GARROD\*.*


5. Create a subdirectory called FORTPGMS for the FORTRAN programs. Enter the
following command: 

C:\GARROD>MD \GARROD\FORTPGMS


6. Copy the entire contents of the FORTPGMS directory to the newly created FORTPGMS
directory on your C: drive:

C:\GARROD>Copy A:\FORTPGMS\*.* C:\GARROD\FORTPGMS\*.*


7. To start the program, go to the \GARROD directory and enter the following command:

C:\GARROD>MC
