Christopher,

Best way to run the demo is to
a) start it from the desktop
b) based on instruction on the PN Director tabletop (blue lettering)
either enter accession numbers, or use
one of the demo files that should be in the Program Files/ SDM/SWE/Demo file
(should open in that directory automatically).


Thanks

Mladen
