preliminary instructions for the windows command-line version of shalstab
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

- copy winstab.zip to your c:\shalstab directory
- extract the files (reply yes to any overwrite dialog)
- click start->run and type "cmd" in the "open" dialog
- type "cd \shalstab" to change to the working directory
- run the program as follows:
	1) convert your grids to arcinfo ascii format ("gridascii" command in arc 
		or "Export from raster - Grid to ASCII" in ArcToolbox)
	1) type shalstab to get instructions
	2) for one-step shalstab with the little coos bay grid use the following command:
		shalstab coos.asc 1700 45 > coosstab.asc
	3) to write all the intermediate grids use the following command
		shalstab coos.asc 1700 45 0 coosrem.asc coosslope.asc coosab.asc > coosstab.asc
- several other programs and utilities are provided, typing their name will provide help
	1) arc2surf: converts an arcinfo ascii grid to a surfer ascii grid
	2) area: computes A/b
	3) curvature: computes total curvature
	4) qovert: computes q/T from slope and area grids
	5) qovertcf: computes q/T from slope and area grids with cohesion and soil depth
	6) removesinks: removes sinks from a grid
	7) slope: computes slope on a 3x3 cell neighborhood
	8) testsinks: will scan a grid and check for sinks	
	9) surf2arc: converts a surfer ascii grid to an arcinfo ascii grid
- an arcmap 8+ template to display shalstab data with colors matching the arcview shalstab colors is also provided:
	1) after performing shalstab analysis convert the ascii grids to arc grid format 
		("asciigrid" command in arc or "Import from raster - ASCII to Grid" in ArcToolbox, select the float option)
	2) double-click on shalstab.mxd
	3) right-click on each layer in the map, select "Properties", click the "Source" tab, and then the "Set Data Source" button
	4) make the appropriate adjustments to your layout, legend, and scalebar, and then rename your map ("File->Save As")
