|  |     Results can be saved to text files using Save or SaveAs. All the values on the | ||

|  |     to other programs, for example, spreadsheets or text editors. | ||
|  |   </p> | ||
|  | <p> | ||
|  |     Note: Excel (for example), only shows 10 decimal digits, by default: to display | ||
|  |     the maximum possible precision (abotu 15 decimal digits), it is necessary to | ||
|  |     format all cells to display this precision. Although unusually accurate, not | ||
|  |     all values computed by Distexplorer will be as accurate as this. Values shown | ||
|  |     as NaN cannot be calculated from the value(s) given, most commonly because the | ||
|  |     value input is outside the range for the distribution. | ||

|  |     This Microsoft Windows 32 package distribution.exe was generated from a C# program | ||
|  |     and uses a boost_math.dll generated using the Boost.Math C++ source code from | ||
|  |     the Boost.Math Toolkit, compiled in CLI mode, containing the underlying statistical | ||
|  |     distribution classes and functions. | ||
|  |   </p> | ||

|  |     Toolkit C++ source code</a> to produce boost_math.dll is in the most recent | ||
|  |     <a href="http://www.boost.org" target="_top">Boost</a> release, initially 1.35.0. | ||
|  |   </p> | ||
|  | <p> | ||
|  |     It is distributed as a single Windows Installer package Setupdistex.msi. Unzip | ||
|  |     the distexplorer.zip to a temporary location of your choice and run setup.exe. | ||
|  |   </p> | ||
|  | <p> | ||
|  |     (Note that .NET framework 2.0 and VCredist are requirements for this program. | ||
|  |     Most recent and updated Windows environments will already have these, but they | ||
|  |     are quickly, easily and safely installed from the Microsoft site if required.) | ||
|  |   </p> | ||
|  | <p> | ||
|  |     (The package cannot be run on other platforms at present but it should be possible | ||
|  |     to build an equivalent utility on any C/C++ platform if anyone would like to | ||
|  |     undertake this task.) | ||
