| The OR Society has produced a powerful
tool for schools, setting out what OR is and the types of career
on offer. It is available for downloading free from this page.
There is guidance on how to get started in using Mentor software
in the "Getting Started Guide" found at http://www.mansci.strath.ac.uk/guide.html
To use the software you must have Windows. Right click on
the file names below with the mouse and select "save
link as". Choose a suitable or temporary directory to
save them to.(Note: zip software is not
required to install this software)
To Create an Installation Disk
The creation of an Installation Disk will enable the software
to be installed on a large number of computers easily. Three
floppy disks are required, one for each set of files. The
files for the Mentor and Guide2 disks will automatically be
unzipped onto the disks following the instructions below,
whilst the files for guide1 merely have to be copied straight
over. To install the software onto a computer it just has
to be installed onto C Drive. This can be done on as many
different computers as required.

Windows (Instructions for Guide 1)
1, Once the software is downloaded from
the internet:
2, Go into Windows Explorer
(or File Manager)
3, Go into the appropriate directory and
find the files related to Guide1
4, Put a blank floppy disk into the Drive
(check its formatted and has no viruses)
5, Select all the files and then go to Edit
and Copy
6, Select Drive A and then click Edit

Windows (Instructions for Mentor and
Guide 2)
1, Once the software is downloaded from
the internet:
2, Go into Start and then Run
3, Go into Browse and find mentor.exe
4, Put a blank floppy disk into the Drive
(check its formatted and has no viruses)
5, Before clicking OK in the Run box,
add some text so that altogether the box reads
C:\Mentor.exe a:\ -d
(obviously this varies depending on which drive you have
downloaded the files to) Now click OK. This tells the
computer to expand mentor.exe into the A Drive and include
the directory structure
6, Repeat steps 1 to
5 with guide2.exe. Use a new blank
floppy disk and replace mentor.exe in step
5 with guide2.exe.
Mentor PC Installation Guide
This process has produced three disks which can be used to
install the software into any Windows 3.1 or 95 computer.
To install it onto a computer, follow the Mentor PC installation
Guide. This can be found at http://www.mentor.strath.ac.uk/install.html
