IMPORTANT NOTES FOR SSPDataq3 full and trial version

  You will find SSPDataq3 listed in your START menu. I would suggest
  you go through the help files before running the programs. For your
  convenience, the help file is also available as a pdf file: 
  SSPDataq3.pdf. The photometry help is also available as a pdf file:
  Photometry2,pdf.

  The default COM port for SSPDataq3 is COM 0 which will bring up a
  notice to change the COM port if you try to connect without
  selecting a valid COM port first.

  If you run the uninstall program after running SSPDataq, a few 
  files will be left in the default directory (C:\SSPDataq3\ or user 
  defined path). It is necessary to reboot the computer before these 
  files can be deleted.

  TRIAL VERSION

  Some of the features are turned off in this version. These include:
  data plot module, SOE Extinction module, telescope control
  and U,R & I magnitude selections. Also, the high resolution scanned 
  pages of the UBVRIJKL is not available but is available in the
  Photometry Help file. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES for August 27, 2013
   Help files have been expanded and improved

NOTES for May 10, 2013
   The SSPDataq3 will now control certain telescopes for position.
   The new install directory is C:\SSPDATAQ3\

NOTES for November 26, 2010:

   I have moved the default install directory to C:\SSPDataq2\. 
   This allows for compatibilty with Vista and Windows 7 since 
   these programs do not allow writes to files to be made to
   C:\Program Files\ unless one has administrator rights. 

NOTES for January 22, 2010:

   I have added the scanned pages of the UBVRIJKL bright star 
   catalog in a folder labled "UBVRIJKL Cat." located on the 
   install CD disk. These include both high and low resolution 
   jpg copies. I was unable to find this important catalog on 
   the web so I scanned my copy. Since the original work was 
   done under various government grants, the material in not 
   protected by copyright.

   To start SSPDataq2, go to your START menu and find SSPDataq2 
   in the listing. It is usually at the end.  

   The help files SSPDataq2.chm and Photometry2.chm are available
   within the program and also in the START menu. In additon, 
   pdf versions of these help files can be found in the root 
   directory for SSPDataq2. Search for SSPDataq2.pdf or 
   Photometry2.pdf. I suggest going through the help files first 
   before spending too much time with the programs. A copy of 
   "Astronomical Photometry" is also suggested and details for
   obtaining a copy are in the Photometry2 help file.
