User Instructions
The Federal Zone:
Cracking the Code of Internal Revenue
third edition
Electronic Version
1. The third edition of The Federal Zone is available in
electronic format. Each chapter and appendix is a separate
MS-DOS logical file.
2. All DOS files were written to floppy disk in the sequence of
their appearance in the book.
3. All files were written by Microsoft WORD for DOS, version
5.0B, using an Intel 80386 cpu with MS-DOS version 5.00.
4. Files in this format can be translated by all of Microsoft's
word processing packages (e.g. Windows WRITE, WORD FOR
WINDOWS, Microsoft PUBLISHER), and by such third-party
translation programs as SOFTWARE BRIDGE and WORD-FOR-WORD.
Such translations are not yet perfect, however.
5. To compress the entire third edition with the PKZIP utility,
execute the following sequence of DOS commands:
C> prompt $p$g
C:\> mkdir fedzone.dir
C:\> cd fedzone.dir
C:\FEDZONE.DIR> copy b:\*.* /v
C:\FEDZONE.DIR> pkzip fedzone.zip *.doc *.txt
This sequence assumes that your current logical drive is
drive C: and that the PKZIP command is stored in a directory
that is in your PATH statement. This sequence also assumes
that your 3.5" floppy drive is drive B:. Experienced DOS
users are presumed to know how to modify this sequence for
their own specific situations.
6. To create a single compressed file that is self-extracting,
execute the following after step 5 above:
C:\FEDZONE.DIR> zip2exe fedzone.zip
This command writes the file FEDZONE.EXE, which can then be
copied to other DOS machines which do not support the
PKUNZIP decompression utility. If DOS users have the PKZIP
utility, they are presumed to have the ZIP2EXE utility also.
7. After copying the file FEDZONE.EXE to another DOS machine,
the separate DOS files in The Federal Zone, third edition,
can be extracted and decompressed automatically as follows:
C:\REMOTE.DIR> fedzone.exe
8. The third edition is also available in plain ASCII format,
without any special character formatting (e.g., underlines,
bold, or italics). Files in this format have a ".TXT"
suffix.
9. To compress the ASCII version of the third edition with the
PKZIP utility, execute the following sequence of DOS
commands:
C> prompt $p$g
C:\> mkdir fedztext.dir
C:\> cd fedztext.dir
C:\FEDZTEXT.DIR> copy b:\*.txt /v
C:\FEDZTEXT.DIR> pkzip fedztext.zip *.txt
This sequence assumes that your current logical drive is
drive C: and that the PKZIP command is stored in a directory
that is in your PATH statement. This sequence also assumes
that your 3.5" floppy drive is drive B:. Experienced DOS
users are presumed to know how to modify this sequence for
their own specific situations.
10. To create a single compressed file that is self-extracting,
execute the following after step 9 above:
C:\FEDZTEXT.DIR> zip2exe fedztext.zip
This command writes the file FEDZTEXT.EXE, which can then be
copied to other DOS machines which do not support the
PKUNZIP decompression utility. If DOS users have the PKZIP
utility, they are presumed to have the ZIP2EXE utility also.
11. After copying the file FEDZTEXT.EXE to another DOS machine,
the separate ASCII files in The Federal Zone, third edition,
can be extracted and decompressed automatically as follows:
C:\REMOTE.DIR> fedztext.exe
