To install the NCNR Reduction and Analysis Package:

(1) - Unzip the downloaded package
(2) - Double click on the NCNR_Install_or_Update.pxp experiment
(3) - If there are any help files open, you will be asked to close them. NOTE: be
        sure to hold down the option (or alt) key when closing them to kill them
        not just hide them.
(4) - Click on "Install SANS Macros"
(5) - When the installer is finished, you will be asked to Quit Igor (yes, do it,
        and save changes to the experiment.)

- SANS_Reduction, USANS_Reduction, and Analysis templates are located in the same
folder as the installer (these are the starting points)
- Example data for reduction and analysis are in NCNR_SANS_Utilities
- A folder with instructions and a template for writing your own analysis function
is included (Single_Model_Template)
- Help files are integral to each template. Open any of the templates and click
on "Help" or "?" from any of the panels to view the help files.
- Any previous installations, including any files you may have modified are moved
to the NCNR_Moved_Files folder. Look in here for anything that you may want to 
save. 



To Update the Package:

(1) - double click on the NCNR_Install_or_Update.pxp experiment
(2) - Click on "Check for Updates"
(3) - The updater will check the version installed versus the version available
on the NCNR website. If your version is out-of-date, you will be sent to the NCNR
website.
(4) If you need to update, download the current version (.zip), and run the installer
as in the first step.




Troubleshooting:

(1) - double click on the NCNR_Install_or_Update.pxp experiment
(2) - Click on "Print Diagnostics"
(3) - Select and copy the entire contents of the notebook of diagnostics, and
paste it into an e-mail.
