===========================================================
1. Scope of the Product

DESIRe is a software tool helping a person to improve
his/her requirements specification document.

DESIRe does not improve requirements specifications
documents automatically.

DESIRe does not measure the quality of requirements.

===========================================================
2. System Requirements

DOORS Client 7.1 or later versions.

DESIRe was tested under Windows XP Service Pack 2
using DOORS version 7.1, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 9.1 and 9.2.

===========================================================
3. Installation

DESIRe is available as a zip file.
After extracting the zip file the DESIRe software will be stored
in a folder named "DESIRe". Additionaly the "List of Words" modules 
archive (currently English and German versions available) and this 
readme file will be extracted.

===========================================================
3.1 Installation of the DESIRe Software

Copy the "DESIRe" folder to directory lib\dxl\addins\ in
your DOORS home directory.

e.g.
C:\Program Files\Telelogic\DOORS_8.1\lib\dxl\addins\
C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\DOORS\9.2\lib\dxl\addins\

DESIRe has been installed successfully if the menu 
entry DESIRe is available if you have opened a formal
DOORs module.

===========================================================

4. Release Notes

4.1 Features
 
- DESIRe uses a "List of Words" module which is a knowledge 
  database that contains technical verbs, 
  nouns and indicational words.
- DESIRe identifies words from the working specification 
  module and displays questions, optional questions and 
  hints to the identified word in the DESIRe user interface.
- The user can select a "List of Words" module in the DESIRe 
  menu.
- DESIRe offers to edit the "List of Words" module in the DESIRe
  menu.

===========================================================
4.2 Important changes
- Not only words ending with ",.;!?" can be found but also words
using brackets "()[]{}" in the requirements will be analysed. So, the 
variants of such a word do not require to add explicitly in the column 
"Word variants" of the LoW.

===========================================================
4.3 Test conditions

DESIRe was tested under Windows XP Service Pack 2
using DOORS version 7.1, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 9.1 and 9.2.

===========================================================
4.4 Fixed bugs
- The word ending with a tab character in the requirements will be analysed.

===========================================================
4.5 Known Problems

- P-1: Changes in OLE objects can get lost.

  DO NOT CHANGE OLE OBJECTS FROM THE DESIRE GUI!
  If an OLE object is changed from the DESIRe 
  GUI, the change is written back to the DOORS
  object only if the requirement's text of the
  object has also changed or the user presses
  the "Apply" button.
