MOON Lab system for WIN32, version 2.0
Copyright (C) 1995, 1998 by S. A. Kryukov

MOON Lab Presentation/Control Server demo

MOON Lab (stands stands for 
"Multitasking Object-Oriented Network Lab System")
is a software system for development and running of applications on a
network or a single computer; the MOON Lab-specific applications being
mainly oriented for 
- data acquisition and controls,
- computer-aided experiments (including numerical experiments),
- scientific-oriented data processing and graphical presentation
  (including animated). 

The system is based on WIN32 API and can be used with Windows 9X and
Windows NT (version 4.0 or above). 

MOON Lab consists of three independent parts:
- Presentation/Control Server,
- Network subsystem
- Multi-dimensional data storage and presentation subsystem.

1 INSTALLATION

To install the MOON Lab Presentation/Control Server demo just copy
the file ML.DLL to the Windows or Windows System subdirectory.
To uninstall, just remove this file (close all the MOON Lab applications
first).

2 ABOUT THIS DEMO

This demo demonstrates 2D and 3D animated scientific-oriented graphics,
user-defined animation and Asynchronous Process Control - a novell
concept of programming technology (see [1,3,5-8]).
