This is the first release of the Percepta Demo Windows application.  
The 3 diskettes contain mostly compressed files which are installed on a 
desktop system by use of the setup program contained on disk 1.
Disk 2 contains the Management Console executable for Manhattan P.
Disk 3 contains the Management Console executable for Manhattan G.

The Production Release of the 1.12 version of Percepta Demo is for the 
initial release.  This program allows the user to evaluate the operation of 
Percepta without the use of a server.  The demo program simulates two systems 
on the network.

DISCLAIMERS

Although  every  precaution  has  been  taken  to provide a quality program, 
problems with  the NLMs may be encountered.  When in doubt about the validity 
of a Percepta  failure, or if you have questions about  the operation of the 
program, please do not hesitate to contact the O/S Server group.

Errata

Some views in the demo contain no information for the picture.  This is normal.  
When completing the demo, you must exit the demo screens in a particular order 
to avoid problems starting the demo the second time.  This is described in the 
readme file which is displayed when the installation is complete.
