Getting Started: General Instructions

# INSTRUCTIONS

There are two ways to use this program. The automatic way uses a central server, which we call the PrimeNet server, to get work to do and report your results. Anyone with Internet access, including AOL, CompuServe, and dial-up ISP users should use this method. You do not need a permanent connection to the Internet.

The second method is the manual method. It requires a little more work and monitoring. I recommend this for computers with no Internet access or with some kind of firewall problem that prevents the automatic method from working.

If you are running this program at your place of employment, you should first GET PERMISSION from your network administrator or boss. This is especially true if you are installing the software on several machines. Some companies are reluctant to run any software they are not familiar with.
