=============================== README.TXT ==================================
This CDROM contains the Hobbes OS/2 Archives from the Internet site at
ftp-os2.cdrom.com.
Most of the files on this disc are either zip or zoo archives. There are
programs provided in the \utils\dos and \utils\os2 directories for extracting
these files.
We've included a program that helps move around on the disc. Type 'view'
or 'os2view' when in the root directory of the CDROM drive. This program
navigates through the complete zipped collection.

==============================================================================
Floppies of IBM diskette images can be created using the utils/os2/loaddskf.exe
under DOS or OS/2. Diskette images usually have file extensions of
".dsk" or ".#dk" for multi-image sets.
==============================================================================
OS/2 treats all files that are on a CDROM as being read only. This attribute
is carried with the file when it is either copied or "dragged and dropped" to
a hard disk or floppy. This attribute must be cleared before the file can be
deleted. From the command prompt type "attrib -r <filename>". From the
Program Manager, open the settings pages for the file, select file, go to the
third page, and un-check the "read-only" box.
==============================================================================
Some files available on the OS/2 archives at ftp-os2.cdrom.com have been
removed for this CDROM distribution because of copyright or export restriction.
These include:
CKermit
DES Encryption for OS/2
