PRESENTS
THE GREATEST COLLECTION OF PUBLIC DOMAIN SOFTWARE, SHAREWARE, AND
FREEWARE AVAILABLE IN ONE PLACE ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET!!
In order to make good use of this CD-ROM the following
utilities are almost essential;
PKXARC.EXE
LIST.COM
They are contained in the root directory on the Disc for
your convenience. We strongly support the shareware concept at
ALDE Publishing and recommend that you register your copy of
these utilities (see PKXARC.DOC and LIST.DOC).
Their usage is as follows;
PKXARC -E <FILENAME.EXT> (to unARCive a file)
LIST <LISTNAME.LST>
You can copy both into your path (i.e. your root directory,
DOS or UTIL subdirectory) where they will be immediately
available.
For help type;
PKXARC <RETURN> (To get a list of commands)
<F1> (After you've started the program)
We have made significant efforts to improve the quality and
quantity of this disc. All files have been categorized into the
proper subdirectories. The subdirectory list has been expanded.
Two master lists are included in the root directory; one sorted
by filename and one by subdirectory classification. In additrion
an RBBS formated subdirectory is included in the RBBS
subdirectory! A master list of the subdirectory is included in
each. And a list of the subdirectories is included in each
subdirectory and the root directory.
The entire disc was searched for duplicates. However not
all files with duplicate names were deleted. If the files were
significantly different in size, or for some other reason did not
appear to be the same an effort was made to categorize them in
separate subdirectories. These files probably account for less
than 1% of the total so don't worry you're still getting you're
monies worth!
Also all the lists were cross checked against actual lists
taken from the subdirectories. This was done to enhance the
accuracy of the list and make your life easier when you're
searching for a program.
Well that's about it. The following is a listing of the
subdirectories to help you get started.
