Files that end in the ".zip" extension are compressed. To make browsing the disk easier, we have included the VIEW program for MSDOS in the root directory of the CDROM. This program allows you to page through the index files and then unarchive the program(s) you want onto your hard disk. =========================================================================== Although you may own this disc, you do not own the programs recorded on it. Many of the programs on this disc are shareware. You are free to try each program for a limited amount of time. If you are satisfied, and want to continue to use the program, you are required to register the program by sending a specified amount of money directly to the author of the program. Often the author will send you the most up to date version of the program and a printed manual. Please check the individual files for specific information. Please help support shareware by contributing to these authors. They make discs like this possible. ============================================================================ Walnut Creek CDROM is an approved vendor and associate member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide technical support for members' products.
