Assess a patient's renal function, ideal body weight, and body surface area        
using the method preferred based on patient specific factors.                      
                                                                                   
This software, by default, sends the following anonymous usage statistics to       
LT Stauffer whenever a calculation is performed: the name of the application,   
the version of the application, and current date and time. If you would like to  
opt out of this data collection, please contact LT Stauffer.

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS:
- Double click the `Launch KidneyCalc.bat' file to launch the program. You can
  make shortcuts to this launcher. I recommend just having the program in a 
  central location on the network S drive and having users launch it with the
  launcher shortcut instead of each person having their own copy of the program.

- Enter the required information for the calculation. If you are unsure what
  the program is asking, press enter for an explanation. For numerical values,
  enter numbers only; the program assumes standard units. For age, however,
  you can enter a number followed by the letter `m' to enter an age in months.
  For the patient's sex, you can type out `male' and `female' or just enter
  the letters `m' or `f'.

- If you make a mistake, enter ^ followed by return.
