REVISION HISTORY
================
06 May 2001:
  Total overhaul of the existing forms and database structure and addition of many new forms.  All changes and additions made in consultation with the Illinois DOT.
  Changed the names of the files from ILDOT... to IL_DOT...

09 September 1998:
  Fixed cosmetic problem - On page 2+ on soil boring log, if output was in meters, the "m" right of the elevation was too low.

19 May 1998:
  Made changes to take advantage of "Follows Log Body" property of entities and Private Blocks.  These made the Boring Log much more efficient and easier to maintain.

05 May 1997:
  Initial Upload

IL_DOT.GDT
  gINT project data template.  You will clone this file to create new project files.

IL_DOT.GPJ
  gINT project file containing example data.  You can use this file to clarify any input procedure questions by looking at the way the data was entered in the Input application.  You can also output this data using the report template to see what the final output looks like.
*************************************************

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
1.  Run the downloaded IL_DOT.EXE from any folder.
2.  It will ask you for the location of gINT.  Supply the appropriate folder (usually c:\program files\gintw).
3.  It will ask you if you wish to make a backup.  This is usually unnecessary for this installation but it will not hurt and will provide an extra margin of safety for certain configurations.
4.  Below we will name the folder you installed into as "gINTW".  The files will located in the following folders:
  IL_DOT.GLB:  gINTW
  IL_DOT.GDT:  gINTW\DATATMPL
  IL_DOT.GPJ:  gINTW\PROJECTS
  IL_DOT.GSC:  gINTW\DATATMPL

For example, if you installed the files into C:\PROGRAM FILES\GINTW, the GPJ file will be located in C:\PROGRAM FILES\GINTW\PROJECTS.

If you want the files in different folders, move them using Windows Explorer after installation.
*************************************************

SPECIAL NOTES:
1.  The IL_DOT.GLB library file is meant to be used by itself.  DO NOT MERGE into your library.  When you are working on a IL DOT job, anywhere in gINT, select the File:System Properties menu item and change the library file to IL_DOT.GLB.  When you want to work on a non-IL DOT job, switch back to your usual library using the same means.

2.  The name that appears under "Division of Highways" to the lower right of the DOT logo is the company name that appears in the Help:Company Information dialog.

3.  PRINTING THE EXAMPLE FORMS
You can print example output of all of the forms we have provided with the following procedure:
  A. Move to the Output application group.
  B. Select the File:Command script:Execute Script menu item or click on the command script button at the upper right of the screen and select Execute Script.
  C. Click on the browse button [...] right of the Script File field.  This generates the "Read Command Script" dialog.  Select IL_DOT.GSC, and click Ok.
  D. Click Ok in the main dialog.

See the "Command Scripting" section of the Reference chapter of the User's Guide for more details on this useful facility.
