USERDATA.TXT
============
This document explains Kim handling of user files and Kim system files.


1) User Data Files

  *.PLT 
  -----
Measured and evaluated data are stored in user files - Kim plate files.
Those files have PLT extension.

  *.KRP
  -----
You may also store reports in individual files - Kim report files.
Those files have KRP extension.
Initially the system offers following folder for user files:

   "C:\Program Files\ASYS Hitech\Kim\data"

Later on you can create your own data folder.
Kim remembers last foler you have choosen with Open or Save commands.



2) Kim System Files

Kim handles two special files:

KIM.MTW
-------
This file contains a list of methods defined by the user.
Depending on the actual distribution, KIM.MTW may 
or need not be included. If not included, it will be created
when the user stores his first method.
(menu command: File/Save as method...)

KIM.MRW
-------
This file contains a list of user defined reports.
Depending on the actual distribution, KIM.MRW may 
or need not be included. If not included, it will be created
when the user stores his first report design.
(menu command: File/Save in report list ...)

By default, Kim system files (kim.mtw and kim.mrw) are kept in:

  "C:\Program Files\ASYS Hitech\Kim\bin"

To change this settings you have to modify Windows registry
using the "regedit" application.

You open the following key:
  
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Kittrich\Kim\Setup

There you may change the "SysFilesDir" value to point to a new folder.

NOTE: Modifying registry may corrupt your windows setup!
