RAINS-ASIA: Hardware requirements

In order to enable wide dissemination of RAINS-Asia, the software is designed to be operational on standard PC configurations. Minimum requirements are:
  • IBM-compatible PC (Pentium, 486, or 386 with co-processor)
  • Minimum 4 Mb RAM (8 Mb recommended)
  • About 43 Mb free memory on hard disk
  • Standard VGA display or better
  • DOS 5.0 or higher, also operational under Windows95
    • Although RAINS-Asia has been designed to operate even in a MS-DOS environment, it provides a windows-style, user friendly interactive interface and extensive on-line help features. High quality graphical output (e.g., maps of sulfur deposition, exceedances of critical loads, etc.) can be printed on any POSTSCRIPT capable printer. The software is accompanied by two user manuals and a step-by-step tutorial explaining twenty typical application sessions of the model.
