Follow directions on the screen to download the software. Alternatively, you may download onto a floppy diskette. Follow the installation instructions as they appear on the screen.

Computer tasks vary in format between exercises.
The only help provided during these operations is from instructions that can be printed from the files provided. This option removes files that are copied to the working directory, a necessary step in working with DoEpi on a Local Area Network, where users are generally prevented from writing to or saving files in the program directories. When you run an exercise, the necessary files are copied to directory from which you run DoEpi. After installation, you may decide to delete an exercise if you have disk space constraints, or you may decide to keep only those exercises that meet specific needs. To delete an exercise, you must delete the entire subdirectory.
