----------- UNPACKING "THE INTERNET MPEG CD-ROM" --------------
To read "The Internet MPEG CD-Rom" you need:
- A CD-ROM-drive capable of reading and mounting a
ISO-9660-conform CD-filesystem.
The files on the CD itself are following the MS-DOS 5.0
naming convention (meaning a maximum of 8.3 letters, no
special characters, except the dash and full-stop).
The files are usally NOT compressed or archived, with the
following exceptions:
- Files that were archived with the famous PKZIP (.ZIP-files)
AND had an archive-header were not extracted to have the
header still included. To extract those file under DOS, use
the PKZ204G.EXE-utility in the BIN/DOS-directory of this CD.
Just copy this file to your local drive and runit, it will
extract itself and show you information about how to use it.
To extract .ZIP files under Unix-like systems, use UNZIP-50.
It can be found in the BIN/UNIX-directory, and has to be un'tar'ed
and compiled. Its quite self-explaining.
- Files that were archived with the famous LHA (.LZH-or.LHA-files)
AND created non-MSDOS-filename were not extracted to keep these
filename. To extract those file under DOS, use the LHA213.EXE-
utility in the BIN/DOS-directory of this CD. Just copy this file
to your local drive and runit, it will extract itself and show you
information about how to use it.
To extract LHA files under Unix-like systems, use LHA.
It can be found in the BIN/UNIX-directory, and has to be un'tar'ed
and compiled. Its quite self-explaining.
- Files intented to be read on Unix-like systems only, like
SunOS, Solaris, Ultrix and NeXTStep are usally archived with
the Unix-typical program TAR to keep the original filenames.
A typical command to extract a tar-file looks like
tar -x -v -f {file}
TAR is also available for DOS, use GTAR. It's included
in the BIN/DOS/GTAK100-directory of this CD.
- Files intended to be used on a MacIntosh are usally
compressed with a program called 'binhex'. Those files
have the ending '.hqx'. Unpack with 'binhex' most the
files are "Self-Extracting-Archives' (ending .sea), but
you have to check this out yourself, because of the DOS
naming convention, we could not keep the original filenames.
Some executables were compiled with Gnu's GCC 2.4.1-5 for DOS. In order
to run them, you should copy the executable GO32.EXE out of the BIN-
directory in one of your PATH-directories.
To do a complete installation of the Gnu-environment refer to the
DISPLAY-utility (int the UTIL/DOS/DISP183-directory), it is a very
useful program anyway.
Please read the Gnu-Public-License LICENSE.GNU carefully before using
any tools !
Please read the file RIGHTS.TXT, if you are a systemadministrator or
want to copy anything from this CD-Rom.
Enjoy MPEG, Phade
