Preface
MStower is a software package for the analysis and design oftowers, masts, and poles. This software incorporates the very latest in Windows technology to make it easier to use and improve your productivity. “1:Introduction” provides an overview of the capabilities of MStower. Whether you are installing MStower for the first time or updating an existing system, you will find all the necessary information in “2:Getting Started”. “3:Menus & Toolbars”provides a summary of the commands available and other chapters provide reference and technical information. This manual is available to the MStower user on-line, together with “pop-up” help for toolbar buttons and dialog boxes. The on-line Help system provides a synchronized table of contents and powerful methods of searching for topics. If the file Readme.txt is present in the MStowerprogram folder after installation, you should read it for information that became available after the manual was printed. The file is automatically displayed during installation but it may be displayed in Notepad at any time by double-clicking the file in Windows Explorer.
