SEDFIT was developed for Windows PCs. If you prefer using a Mac, it is possible to run SEDFIT and SEDPHAT directly from an Intel Mac/Unix machine, as described in Dr. Gali Prag's Mac/Unix instructions. The following instructions are for Windows.
* PC with at least 500 MHz processor and 200 MB RAM for equilibrium, but > 2 GHz processor and 500 MB RAM for global velocity analysis
* Windows NT, 95, 98, 2000, XP or later
* ~5 MB of harddisk space
* internet connection for access to on-line help

By downloading and using the software, you agree to cite the software in publications (including the name and source), as well as the referencing the published methods (see the references page).
2) Create a directory named "sedfit" on your harddrive C: (Note, installation can also take place into an alternate destination folder, see details.)
3) Sedphat is only a single executable sedphat.exe. Download this file simply by clicking on the following link, and store the files in the directory c:\sedfit\.
sedphat.exe (4,768 KB, this is the version 6.1 from July 2008)
For a brief list of changes from the previous version, see sedphatchanges.txt
The location of sedphat.exe should be c:\sedfit\sedphat.exe in order to establish the link to the export function of Sedfit .
4) You can also associate "*.sedphat" files with sedphat.exe [single right-click on sephat file, select "Open With", "Choose Program", "Browse", find sedphat.exe, and check "Always use the selected program..."]. This will allow you to simply double click on any sedphat file from within your file manager and start a new copy of SedphaT showing the saved analysis. Similarly, you can association "*.xp" files with sedphat.exe. For more details, see the website for Verifying and Testing the Correct Installation of SedphaT.
5) for getting started, visit the following sites: Concepts for Getting Started, Tutorial for Getting Started (note this includes a description for how to associate '*.sedphat' files with sedphat.exe)
6) remember: For storing any data, configuration files, or experiment files, DO NOT USE DIRECTORIES WITH WHITE-SPACE CHARACTERS, e.g. "My Documents", "XLA DATA" or the desktop. That will create errors when reloading.
7) you can verify the correct installation by visiting this site.
8) If you would like to be placed on an email list of users for updates, bug fixes, etc, please submit the following information (I would strongly recommend this, as Sedphat is evolving rapidly):
