The CD-ROM expands upon the contents of the text and appendices with voice, video, and animation. The CD-ROM contains over 500 Mb of information. A single pass through all of the instructional material takes between 60 and 70 hours.
Plans are to upgrade the CD-ROM annually.
The tutorials show how to complete the input forms, describe the process equipment with videos, introduce the unit operation subroutines, and show how to use the physical property information system. The tutorials can be accessed from separate menus or as options from the frames of the 12 sections. Note, also, that a 16 color palette is inadequate and that problems may be encountered when utilizing palettes that permit more than 256 colors. To avoid this problem, most monitors can be set to utilize a 256 color palette.
