This is the demo version of PaperOut for RISC OS.
It requires RISC OS 3.1 and 2 MB of RAM.
============================================================================
PaperOut is retrieval software for Electronic Book CDs which have up to
now only been usable with the Sony DATA Discman. There are already over
200 CD-ROM titles available (encyclopedias, dictionaries, guides), which
conform to the Electronic Book standard developed by Sony.
The Electronic Book CDs are supplied in a caddy, which looks like
a 3.5" floppy disc. To use the CD in a CD-ROM drive the CD may be
removed from this caddy. The CD may be placed in the 8cm recess in the
middle of a drive tray, or in a CD caddy using a 5.25" adaptor ring.
PaperOut will work on any Acorn RISC OS computer fitted with 2MB RAM and
RISC OS 3.1. The CD-ROM drive must be XA compatible (if it is Kodak PhotoCD
compatible that is fine), and you will need CDFS 2.20 or greater. Where
required Cumana CDFSsoft driver updates are available free of charge.
PaperOut is THE software which enables you to use these
Electronic Books with your Acorn Archimedes. Many
well known dictionaries and reference books are now
available for RISC OS. These include:
Concise Oxford Dictionary and Thesaurus
Oxford Dictionary of Quotations
Shakespeare: The Complete Works
Webster's Dictionary of English Usage
Compton's Concise Encyclopedia
Chambers Science & Technology Library
NTC's Dictionary of American Idioms and Slang
