Congratulations! The Giga-ROM Archives version 2.0 is the largest collection of Macintosh software ever assembled on a CD-ROM. 

There are 13,277 archives on this disc representing over 1.7 gigabytes (1,700 megabytes) of Macintosh shareware, freeware and public domain files.


Using Compact Pro 
	Most of the files are archived in Bill GoodmanÕs Compact Pro format. The Compact Pro archiving program is included on the disc in a folder on the root level of the CD-ROM.
	Take the time to print out the release notes and the user guide, then consider registering your copy of the Compact Pro program. A handy order form is included for your convenience.

To de-archive a file, follow these simple instructions:

1. Install the Compact Pro program on your hard drive.
2. Copy the archived file(s) you wish to open to your hard drive.
3. Double click the archive you wish to open. The Compact Pro 
	program will launch automatically, or in some cases, the file 
	will de-archive itself without launching the program.
4. If the file launches Compact Pro, a screen will come up giving you 
	a chance to register your copy of Compact Pro (if you have not 
	already done so). Choose register to enter your name and 
	registration number. Otherwise, choose the button labeled Not 
	Yet. Your archive will appear in a new window showing the 
	file(s) available to de-archive. Click on (choose) the file(s) you 
	wish to remove from the archive. ÒCommand EÓ will extract 
	the chosen files and allow you to place them somewhere on 
	your hard disk.
5. To open another archive, choose ÒCommand OÓ (not zero) or look 
	under the file menu for ÒOpenÓ with your mouse.

	Compact Pro is one of the best shareware programs on the market today. We recommend, as the author suggests, that you register your copy after the first 30 days of use. Bill Goodman deserves your support for this excellent program. Your $25 payment will earn you registered user status and will allow Bill to advise you of regular updates.


Using the Giga-ROM Archives on a BBS
	The very nature of this disc as a 1,700 megabyte archival collection lends itself to the creation of a state-of-the-art bulletin board file section. Indeed, the largest Macintosh bulletin board systems in the world are using this disc as their main file section.
	Several third party products are available to assist the installation of the Giga-ROM Archives as a BBS file section. For more information about BBS use, contact Quantum Leap on our toll-free number 800-762-2877, or internationally at (305) 885-9985. You can fax to (305) 885-9986.


Using The On Location Indexes
	We use On TechnologiesÕ On Location desk accessory to index the filenames and text of every file in the Giga-ROM Archives. We believe On Location is one of the best utilities available for this purpose. This index allows for the speedy search of any and every file on the disc when used with the On Location program. For your convenience, a copy of the On Location demo is included in the demo section on the disc.
	For fastest results, copy the On Location index from the On Location folder on Giga-ROM to a folder named ÒOn Location IndexesÓ in your system folder.  On Location can read the index for the Giga-ROM from your hard drive much faster, if you have the room available on your hard drive.
