2. Transfer the FLOWMAP file from the ISV to the PC as a binary file using any
method you wish. Name it FLOWMAP.EXE.
FLOWMAP.EXE should now reside in your C:\FLOWMAP directory.

Double-click on FLOWMAP.EXE in the File Manager, or
Select FLOWMAP.EXE and choose Run from the File menu.

VPROC.XLM Excel Macro sheet that displays the version of Flow Map
PC product and data files
