INSTLGD3.PDF the Cohort V3 installation guide with complete instructions for installing the Cohort suite of products. The guide also includes a sample RA installation (upgrade). The manual is in the Adobe Acrobat Public Document Format; most browsers can read these files and free viewers for many platforms are available from www.adobe.com; no official .pdf viewer is available for OpenVMS, however, we do plan to publish our documentation to .html as well for the final Cohort V3 release. It is possible to print documentation from within the Acrobat reader.

A 30 day demo license is available for RA or Cohort by contacting Saiga Systems directly. Current users should note that the license key used for previous version(s) of RA or Cohort will need to be replaced by a current license which must be loaded before running RA V7.0; your existing license will not work. Please contact us directly to obtain a license for this version if you don't already have one. However, this license will not interfere with existing license(s) if you plan to run a mixture of Cohort V2 and Cohort V3 modules.

1	Internal variables are now floating point to eliminate overflow conditions.
2	The summary report has been replaced with a report generator. Summary reports can be created with your choice of columns in username, account, UIC, UIC group or user group sequence. Individual columns can also be scaled by 1,000 or 1,000,000 to help control the report size.
3	The export function can now be configured to export your choice of values from an RA save file.
4	It is now possible to add image level charges to RA. Used in conjunction with the /accounting qualifier in the install utility it is now possible to charge users for running specific images without enabling image accounting.
5	RA has a new utility program that allows you to add fixed charges to a session at the DCL level. Privileged users can add charges for other accounts as well. This utility allows sites to add fixed usage charges into DCL driven menu systems; a frequently requested enhancement.
6	All RA reports have been modified, as needed, to accommodate these fixed charges and image charges. New reports providing details for fixed and image charges have also been added.
