P.H. SOLUTIONS requires that you have a VGA video adapter and a MOUSE.

STARTING THE PROGRAM:

	Start the P.H. SOLUTIONS program by typing:

		PHSOL

	then press the ENTER KEY


COMMAND LINE SWITCHES:

		-T
		-C
		-A

												pg.1

PHSOL -T  will run only the Triangle portion of the program.
	PHSOL -C  will run only the Curve portion of the program.
	PHSOL -A  will run only the Area-Cutoff portion of the program.


P.H. CURVE SOLVER:

	Solve for unknown elements of circular curves by selecting two known elements 		from the lists on the left side of the screen (use mouse). 

			1. Enter the values for the known elements. (2 required)

		2. Move the mouse cursor to the COMPUTE button and click one of the 				mouse buttons.

	Angles are in the format "DDD.MMSS".
	The angle "89 degrees 12 minutes and 13 seconds"  is entered as 89.1213.

P.H. TRIANGLE SOLVER:

	Solve for unknown elements of triangles by selecting the appropriate solution 		method from the list on the left side of the screen (use mouse). 

		1. Enter the values for the known elements. (3 required)

		2. Move the mouse cursor to the COMPUTE button and click one of the 				mouse buttons.

	Remember that angles are in the format "DDD.MMSS".
		The angle "120 degrees 38 minutes and 40 seconds"  is entered as 120.3840.

	Right triangles may be solved by entering 90 when you are prompted to enter an 	angle.

P.H.  AREA CUT-OFF:

	Solve for unknown elements a trapezoid  by entering known bearings, distances 		and required area. 

	1. Enter the values for the known elements.

	2. Move the mouse cursor to the COMPUTE button and click one of the mouse 	 		Buttons.

	Bearings are in the format "DD.MMSS".
	Quadrants are in the format "1" = NE, "2",= SE, "3" = SW and "4" = NW

		The bearing "North 89 degrees 38 minutes and 40 seconds East"  is entered:
		BEARING: 89.3840
		QUADRANT: 1

	DUE NORTH is entered:
		BEARING: 0
		QUADRANT: 1

	DUE WEST is entered:
		BEARING: 90
		QUADRANT: 4
