Overview on SieFuzzy
====================

SieFuzzy is a state-of-the-art CAE tool for developping Fuzzy Logic
applications. It allows its user to develop a Fuzzy system by defining
its structure, variables, membership functions, rules, procedural objects,
inference and defuzzification methods, operators etc., then testing it
offline statically or dynamically (using a built-in closed-loop simulation)
and finally translating it into equivalent C-Code that can be included into
the application. Additionally, online testing and debugging is possible,
i.e. the developped Fuzzy system runs on the target hardware and is
observable and tunable from the development system.


Restrictions of this demo version
=================================

no file saving
no FPL text editors on objects other than MEMBER and RULE
no printing of FPL text
no compiling to C-code (there are examples of C-code produced by SieFuzzy
                        included with the PEND example)
no online mode available
no DLL support for PROCUNITs and MODELs
no C-libraries
reduced example set
no online help and tutorial (the full version contains about 3MB of help
                        files and tutorial)
no FPL converter for converting old TILShell+ files to FPL3 which is used
                        by SieFuzzy


Hardware requirements
=====================

MS-DOS PC with at least 386 processor, 4MB memory or more, 1.5 MB harddisk 
space, Microsoft Windows 3.1, a mouse


Installation of the demo version
================================

1) Insert the demo disk in your disk drive (in the following we assume
        that this is drive A:; if your drive has a different letter, use
        that one instead during the rest of the installation).

2) At the DOS prompt, type "A:\INSTALL" and press the Return key.
        The install program will now automatically copy all neccessary
        files from drive A: to your harddisk drive C: into a new directory
        named SIEFUZZY. If you don't want the SieFuzzy demo to be installed
        in C:\SIEFUZZY, please change the file INSTALL.BAT on the demo disk
        accordingly.

3) Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT to make the following changes:
        Add "C:\SIEFUZZY\BIN" to your PATH variable.
        Add a new line "SET SIEFUZZY=C:\SIEFUZZY\BIN".

4) Reboot your system.

5) Start Windows.

6) Install the SieFuzzy icon using the Windows program manager:
        Select "File", "New", "Program" and click "OK"
        As the command line enter "C:\SIEFUZZY\BIN\SIEFUZZY.EXE"
        As the working directory enter "C:\SIEFUZZY\BIN"
        Click the "OK" button

7) The demo version of SieFuzzy is now installed and ready to run. 
        Examples can be found in the EXAMPLES subdirectory. It contains not 
        only Fuzzy systems to test but also examples for user-defined 
        inference and defuzzification methods, user-defined operators and 
        user-defined objects as well as an user-defined add-on named 
        QuickStart.
