The files in the ROADENG/BIN directory are used to execute the program. They are not of any specific interest to users however with the exception of the help files they must be present for the program to operate. Softree does not install any DLL's in the Windows System folder, all required executables will be here in the BIN folder.
This directory contains drivers for the hardlock security key. See Security Hardlock Installation for more information.
This directory contains a sub-directory with samples in it (C:\ROADENG\DATA\SAMPLES). This is a convenient directory to place user project directories.
This directory contains the example files used in the tutorial manual.
