Downloading REMIT

1. If you haven't done so already, please register as a REMIT user by sending an e-mail with your name, company, and phone number to technical support. This will ensure that you are notified of any future upgrades. This information is only used for REMIT notifications and is not used for any other purpose or shared with any other organization or company.

2. Click on the download button below to download the install program. Save this file to a temporary directory, such as C:\TEMP.

   If you already have a previous version of REMIT installed, you should install version 5.1 into the same directory as your existing version of REMIT, typically in the C:\REMIT directory. It will not overwrite or affect your existing data. It is recommended, however, that you make a backup copy of all the files in the C:\REMIT\DBFS directory prior to making any modifications, such as installing the upgrade.

3. Unzip and run the executable program you downloaded in Step 1 (instal51.exe). It will install the necessary files to the appropriate directories and create a shortcut on your desktop. Read the release notes for details on the new version.

   NOTE: You must have administrator priviledges in order to install this software on a computer running Windows NT operating system.

4. IF YOUR DATA FILES ARE KEPT IN A DIRECTORY OTHER THAN C:\REMIT\DBFS - before you run REMIT 5.1, you must copy the file "site_ord.dbf" from the database directory where you just installed REMIT 5.1 (typically C:\REMIT\DBFS) into the database directories containing your data.

   For example, if you installed REMIT 5.1 into the "C:\REMIT\" directory and you keep your official database files on a shared network drive called "G:\REMITDATA\DBFS\", then you will need to copy "site_ord.dbf" from "C:\REMIT\DBFS\site_ord.dbf" to "G:\REMITDATA\DBFS\site_ord.dbf".

   If you have any questions, contact technical support for assistance. This database file must be copied to each database file directory before REMIT 5.1 will be able to access the database directory.

5. Run REMIT 5.1 from the Windows shortcut icon.

Download the User Manual (NUREG/CR-6050)

Note: The electronic version of the Users Manual will require formatting in order to make it look like the distributed copy of NUREG/CR-6050. The document is in WordPerfect 5.1 format. The current user manual describes the DOS version of REMIT and has not been updated for the Windows version. The functionality of the REMIT system is nearly identical to the DOS version, so the majority of the information in the user manual is still valid. Future updates of the user manual are being considered.

Requests for the REMIT source code should be submitted to the NRC Project Manager.
