Cvsgraph is a portable program which does not need installation.

Copy the file csvgraph.exe to any location on your computer (or run it from a USB-stick or similar).
From version 3.2 two versions are available, 32-bit and 64-bit – please select the version that
matches the operating system version you are running. This can be found in settings – System –
About under system type. If you are unsure the 32-bit version will run on both versions of the
operating system but will be limited to using 4GB of memory (which will be adequate for all but
extremely large files).
In version 4v2 and above three versions are available, the “64x” version has been compiled with a
more recent version of the compiler/linker and now uses the UCRT (Universal C Runtime) runtime.
The UCRT should be present on all computers running Windows 10 or 11 and is available for
previous versions back to Windows XP – see for example https://learn.microsoft.com/enus/cpp/windows/universal-crt-deployment?view=msvc-170 .
 Adding a trace from a 12GB csv file was 32% faster with the 64x version compared to the 64-bit version
 (this file was too big to load with the 32-bit version) so using the 64x version is recommended.
Functionality should be identical on all 3 versions.
Please report any issues with via github as usual.

If you wish the Help/Manual function to work then copy csvgraph.pdf to the same directory
(location) as csvgraph.exe. If you change the name of csvgraph.exe (e.g., to csvgraph64.exe) then the
name of the pdf file also has to change (to csvgraph64.pdf in the case).

A shortcut on your desktop makes it simple to execute csvgraph.

The first time you run csvgraph you may see a Windows warning “The Publisher could not be
verified. Are you sure you want to run this software” (or similar), you can either run anyway (the
executable from github - https://github.com/p-j-miller/csvgraph should be safe) or compile your
own executable from the source files (a free version of the required Builder C++ compiler is available
at www.embarcadero.com/products/cbuilder/starter ). Builder C++ 10.4 is required to build the 64-
bit version. As of version 3.7, csvgraph is built with Builder C++ 11.3, while version 4v1 and above is
built with Builder C++ 12.1.

You may also get a similar message from your pdf reader the first time you use Menu/Help/Manual
function, again you can accept this as you know why the pdf reader was invoked.

See the file LICENSE for details but csvgraph is free for both commercial and non-commercial use.
