This book is distributed in a form that is designed
to be easily accessible with the maximum range of computer
and printer types. Because of this, many frills (such as
fancy formatting) are omitted. To print the text of the
book on your printer, you can use the command
COPY HOWMIND.DOC PRN
at the DOS prompt on IBM compatible computers. On other
computers, use the equivalent command to send an ASCII text
file to the printer. The HOWMIND.DOC file is in ASCII text,
with page numbers and a form feed at the bottom of each
page.
Although most of this book is pure text, there are
six graphic figures in chapter 1. These are provided as both
PCX and GIF files in this package. The files FIG11.PCX (or
FIG11.GIF) through FIG16.PCX (or FIG16.GIF) correspond to
figures 1.1 through 1.6. Most people have some type of
program capable of displaying and even printing these
pictures. For example, if you have Windows 3.0 or 3.1, you
can load the PCX files into the Windows Paintbrush program
and have this program print out the pictures to almost any
graphic printer (I recommend a 200% scaling while printing).
There are also many shareware programs capable of displaying
and/or printing GIF or PCX pictures. If the shareware picture
viewer you have does not include print capability, you can
load the GRAPHICS.COM program that comes with IBM DOS
(assuming you have an IBM compatible computer) and use it to
do a graphic screen dump. This package also includes an
executable program for IBM PCs called ALLFIGS.EXE that will
display all the figures on the screen at the same time. If
you use GRAPHICS.COM to do a screen dump from ALLFIGS.EXE, I
suggest you load GRAPHICS.COM with the GRAPHICS /R option.
If you cannot print the pictures, they are not
absolutely essential, since the text describes them.
