	PLEASE NOTE THAT IMA CAN BE ALSO USED REMOTELY ON OUR SERVERS. THIS MEANS NO INSTALLATION WOULD BE REQUIRED. FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT info@new-object.com . IMA is supplied as a ZIP file which includes all the files needed for a complete installation. IMA is a NON INVASIVE application and it does not modify the Windows Registry.

	Use your web navigator to access the following URL: http://<your webroot>/firsttest/default.htm From the drop-down menu select "basic test" then press the "submit query" button.
