=============================================================
THANK YOU FOR BUYING THIS CD-ROM.
This CD-ROM includes a huge collection of NETWARE programs,
source codes, drivers, info and patches. There are over 600
Megabytes of data with over 10,000 files and 1,280 directories.
Due to the diversity of programs and the complexity of these
topics, it is difficult to write a front-end that will take
care of everything. We have settled on a combination of a
DOS and Windows-based viewer and program launcher for this CD.
The idea is to let you to view the documentation on the program,
if you like it, you simply copy it to your hard disk, or launch
the program, or do nothing.
We have tried our best to let you test-run programs directly
from the the CD-ROM without hard disk installation. Some
programs run fine on CD-ROM as long as NO new data are added
or created. You will get an error message when trying
to save new data onto the CD-ROM (a read-only media). This
problem will go away when the program is installed into
your hard disk.
Some of the programs and data on this CD-ROM are copyrighted
materials intended for the private uses of legitimate owners
of Netware and other related hardware. They are included
here FREE OF CHARGE and are for the convenience of these
owners.
We have made your test-run as easy as possible and have
automated most hard disk installation and deletion process.
We hope you will like this feature.
For your convenience, you may want to print out the "TABLE OF
CONENTS", so that you have an idea of what is available.
After you have copied the programs to your hard disk, you
may want to exit the viewer, or if under WIN'95, simply run
the loader program of your choice to try the new programs.
CW File Wizard, the program viewer and launcher, is special
written for this CD-ROM. It is easy to use and powerful.
CW File Wizard has been tested under WINDOWS '95 and run fine.
Depends on your system, you may need at least 580K RAM
to run the CW File Wizard under the main menu. If
you get "insufficient memory" message, simply get out
of Windows and the main menu.
Then type: NSL <ENTER>
to run the CW File Wizard directly from Windows.
See TROUBLE-SHOOTING section for more help if you still
have problems.
No installation is needed if you use our Windows-based CW
File Wizard. It also does not install any icon or program
group in your Windows desktop either. Most people like this
low profile feature. You may, however, install a program
group in your Windows.
CW File Wizard lets you see any text file (.DOC, .TXT,
or .ASC) and ZIP file. It lets you unzip file to the directory
of your choice. (NOTE: Most programs are unzipped for your
convenience).
To start browsing, simply click on the any directory that you
want to examine. Then you will see a list of sub-directories.
Click on any subdirectory will give you a list of file names.
Click on any text or document file for descriptions of the programs.
A good place to start is to click on the .DIZ file if available.
.DIZ file lists a concise description of the program. Click on
any .EXE or .BAT file will test run the program. Click on any
.ZIP file will let you "see" inside the content of the compressed
file. You can also unzip the ZIP file to your hard drive by
clicking on the copy to hard disk button.
Some programs may not run if its files has an "R" attribute,
especially the data files that most family tree programs create.
You will have "path/access error" if your data files are flagged
with the "R" attribute.
ALL files on CD-ROM is flagged "R" to prevent your PC from
writing on the CD-ROM. This "R" attribute will stay with the
file even though you copy the file into your hard disk.
To remove this attribute, log into the subdirectory and
type: ATTRIB *.* -r < ENTER >
If you miss this step, you may get "path/file access" errors.

Microsoft Word 6.0 files also have .DOC extension. Some files in
this collection are in WORD format. If you use CW File Wizard to
