THE FORMAT OF THE DISC
This disk conforms to the ISO-9660 level 2 format. All the filenames
are limited to eight single-case characters, with an extension of up
to three characters under DOS. Under the Macintosh, the names are 40
characters with a three character extension. Most directories have
an index file named 00_index.txt that contains a description of each
file in the directory.
===========================================================================
USING THE VIEW PROGRAM
To use this disc, merely change drives to your CD-ROM drive, then type
"VIEW" in the root directory of the CD-ROM drive, then press enter. The
VIEW program will then display a listing of the subdirectories and their
description on the disc. Use the cursor keys to move the highlight bar up
and down the screen, then press ENTER to change into any of the
subdirectories. The VIEW program will then display a list of files within
that particular subdirectory. (To return back to the subdirectory listing,
press the ESCAPE key.)
While in the list of files, the VIEW program can let you read a text file,
uncompress a zipped file, or copy a file onto another drive.
To read a text file, merely position the highlight bar onto the line with
the filename you wish to read, then press ENTER. While reading the
document, if you wish to search for a string, press either the "S" key,
CONTROL-S (type "S" while holding down the Control key), or F9 then enter
the string for which you wish to search. For further occurrences of the
string, merely press the S key, CONTROL-S, or F9 key. You may do reverse
searches by pressing R, CONTROL-R, or F10 in the same manner.
To uncompress a zipped file, position the highlight bar onto the line with
the filename you wish to uncompress, then press ENTER. The screen will
change to ask you to where you wish to uncompress the file, the default
being a directory on your C: drive. If you wish, you may edit this
destination box. Press ENTER to begin uncompressing the file, or press
ESCAPE to abort. After uncompressing, you will have the option to either
exit out to the directory to which the VIEW program uncompressed the file,
or to return to the menu; if you decide to return the menu, be sure to
remember to where the file was uncompressed!
To copy a file, position the highlight bar onto the line with the wish to
copy, then press ENTER. The screen will change to ask you to where you
wish to copy the file, the default being a directory on your C: drive. If
you wish, you may edit this destination box. Press ENTER to copy the file,
or press ESCAPE to abort. After copying, you will have the option to
either exit out to the directory to which the VIEW program copied the file,
or to return to the menu; if you decide to return the menu, be sure to
remember to where the file was copied!
===========================================================================
We have included many tools and utilities for use with your PC and
Macintosh on this disc for your convenience within the /dosutils
/MacUtils directories, respectively. Please check within these
directories for unarchiving utilities (Unzip, Dehqx, Unstuffit) and
other useful utilities.
===========================================================================
