This is README.DOC
It is being placed within: BRAKTHRU.ZIP file being
distributed on and by many bulletin boards (BBS's).
It is NOT necessary to read all this file. You can run BRAKTHRU.COM
at the command line prompt. It is NOT a compressed file. It will
immediately display its contents-- a text file, in color, with scrolling
capabilities. It does nothing else, no installing, nothing.
It describes a scientific breakthrough in the field of human emotions.
(You can exit the file at any time by pressing the ESC key.)
The breakthrough is of special interest because the
described new concepts and offered process enable
two adults-- with absolutely no knowledge of medicine
or psychology-- an unprecedented opportunity to
permanently alter their personalities-- in a matter of
weeks! They can become free of personally selected,
specific thought-induced emotions. Included are fear,
anger, grief, sadness, anxiety, hostility, depression,
and many other typical, as well as abnormal, feelings.
For reasons explained by the text, this material, truthfully considered
to be the most valuable new information in the world, is being made
available virtually free on BBS's. The entire book, less the index, is
also available at low cost on disks as shareware. Printed books are
currently available for $49.50 (See the details in the file).
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To read more about the .com file before running it, read on. There was
some early confusion about a similar file named: BRAKTHRU.exe. It is a
Lharc'd self-extracting file normally distributed on diskettes (rather
than BBS's). Although it doesn't require a README.DOC file, perhaps it
should have one anyway for sophisticated BBS users who expect BBS files
to have them.
BRAKTHRU.ZIP contains two files: this file and an uncompressed compiled
.COM file: BRAKTHRU.COM, a self-displaying file with a built-in text
viewer. It contains ASCII text embedded with simple codes that control
color, indenting, scrolling, and a pop-up help menu. A proprietary program
(like DOC2COM) converted the coded file to an executable .com file.
Being self-displaying in color, the appearance of the ASCII text file
is enhanced and no file viewers such as LIST are needed. We call it
DiskTop Publishing-- the art of displaying books and other documents,
on disk-- attractively for novices as well as expert computer users.
However, originally, BRAKTHRU.com was compressed using LHa 2.13 /s/x
rather than PKZIP. Lharc works well and there's no distribution fee.
The resultant self-extracting BRAKTHRU.exe without a README.DOC was
placed on diskettes and a very few BBS's. Someone misunderstood the
file descriptor on some BBS or wrote an eroneous one when uploading
the file to another BBS. As a result, at least one person feared that
the .EXE version might be contaminated with a virus. Being advised by
an helpful SysOp, this README.DOC file and message were created and
placed within BRAKTHRU.ZIP as of 7/20/92.
Ironically, the frightened (?) person could become totally free of his
(or her) fears in a short time by using the scientific breakthrough
instead of fearing the file that announces it.
End of file.
