*** Workflows Installer *******************************************************

This bundle is not a complete installation of the Oasys Suite. The core
applications (SHELL, PRIMER, D3PLOT, T/HIS, REPORTER) remain unchanged.

This bundle simply contains an updated copy of the "workflows"
library usually included in a complete installation of the Oasys Suite.

Make sure you have Oasys 23.0 or Oasys 22.1 installed (this bundle will not
work correctly with earlier versions).

It isn't necessary to replace the "workflows" folder in your Oasys Suite
installation location. Instead, the Workflows installer will set preferences
to redirect PRIMER, D3PLOT, T/HIS and REPORTER to load Workflows from this
bundle intead of any previous version.

To start using this Workflows bundle, place the 
"Oasys_23_0_Workflows_Bundle" folder in a convenient directory on your file
system.

Then, you can either set necessary preferences manually, or run the installer
script which will automatically set preferences for you.

To run the Workflows installer:
    1) Open PRIMER
    2) Select Tools -> JavaScript
    3) Click the file selector button
    4) Select WorkflowsInstaller.js from the "Oasys_23_0_Workflows_Bundle" folder
    5) Click Run
    6) The script updates the preferences so you can access the updates
    7) As stated in the pop-up in PRIMER, restart PRIMER
    8) The updated Workflows bundle will now be available across all Oasys programs
	NOTE: If you change the location of the Workflows directory, please re-run WorkflowsInstaller.js

To set the preferences manually:
    1) Open PRIMER
    2) Select Options -> Edit preferences
    3) Select All programs -> workflows -> workflow_definitions_directory
    4) Select "Active" and for Value, enter the absolute file path of your new Workflows bundle
    5) Select All programs -> workflows -> workflow_only_user_specified_directory
    6) Select "Active" and set the value to TRUE
    7) Select File -> Save, click OK and dismiss the preferences editor
    8) Restart PRIMER
    9) The updated Workflows bundle will now be available across all Oasys programs

Alternatively:
    1) Open your oa_pref file and set the following preferences:
       
       oasys*workflow_definitions_directory: <path/to/new/Workflows/bundle>
       oasys*workflow_only_user_specified_directory: TRUE
