Support

On this page you will find basic support info: a list of topics in our online support library (general help info), and also info about getting a response from Polytrope Support (lower on the page).

Note 1-26-2009: This page - more than most on the new web site - is truly under construction. Many of the links below are broken because the articles that the links point to haven't been rebuilt in this new site. To see the old articles, go back to the home page and use the link to the old site at Google. Everything will remain there until it has been recreated here.
