	Brief instructions to configure Evoland to use the 
	installed local database rather than Internet web services.
	For Evoland 3.5, as used in the Ecology and Society paper.


	TO INSTALL EVOLAND ON YOUR PC
	-----------------------------

	Download the setup35.msi file from where you got this file.

	Install Evoland as you would any other software program. 
	
	You can remove Evoland using the Windows Add Remove Program feature.


	Evoland by default will be installed to c:/Program Files/Evoland/


	POLICY DATABASE
	---------------

	Evoland by default will refer to policies on our server.
	Evoland accesses the policies using a web services interface.
	The installed program includes an Access database with the same policies
	as were used in the Ecology and Society and also the 
	Journal of Land Ecology papers.

	To use your local database instead of the Internet web service, 
	please edit the file found in the installation directory,

	Evoland.ini.


	In file, Evoland.ini, edit the [inputs] section so it appears as see below.
