 Browser Configuration Notes:
      For the CDROM version of HMChem, browsers must be set to accept
      cookies to connect to the HMChem Internet site. 
      For Apple Macintosh computers, Netscape Navigator must be configured
      for Java to work with HMChem on the CDROM. See the section
      Configuring Navigator for Apple Macintosh below. 
  
  If you are unable to reach the WWW sites to download the software, you 
  can obtain the software from the download (PC) or macdownload (Macintosh)
  directory of this CDROM. If you use the CDROM files, follow the
  instructions in part 5 of this readme file to install the software.
  
  2. Testing Browser Configuration
  ================================
  
  To determine if Netscape Navigator or Microsoft IE is configured 
  correctly, open the HMChem test page (information/tester.htm) on the 
  CDROM.
  
  3. Starting HMChem
  ==================
  
  To start HMChem, use Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer 
  to open the file index.htm on the CDROM.
  
  4. Changing the HMChem Internet Site
  ====================================
  
  Although most of HMChem is contained on the CDROM, there are some 
  features that require access to the HMChem Internet Site. By default,
  HMChem on the CDROM searches for the Internet site located at Binghamton 
  University, in upstate New York, USA. You can change the Internet HMChem 
  site to Cubic Science, located in southern California, USA, by using 
  the browser to open the file changeremotesite.htm located on the CDROM. 
  This file is also available from the help page of HMChem. Note that 
  this procedure only changes the HMChem Internet site of the browser. If
  you install the HMChem CDROM on another computer, the browser on the other
  computer may or may not have the same HMChem Internet site.
  
  5. Installation of Download Software
