- This 'electronic book' archive has been prepared with a state
- of the art authoring program for DOS called BigText: I highly
- recommend it. Text files are converted by BigText into executable
- files with menus whose items are correlated with chapters or
- illustrations in the text. Illustrations may be incorporated into
- BigText books and easily displayed. Choose (I) from any document
- screen to access the address of the publisher of BigText.

- To enjoy the reports in the archive ORIGINS13.ZIP simply
- unarchive the ZIP file to a directory of your choice. Among the
- files in the archive are three executables plus readme.1st which
- is an ASCII text file. The executables are self running
- 'electronic books'. DO NOT RUN ORIGINS OF MYTHOLOGY FROM A DOS
- SHELL! There is a good chance, your computer will lock up: the
- program which generates the master menu from which individual books
- are accessed appears not to be compatible with PCTools for DOS
- v8.0 and likely will cause problems with other DOS shells as well.
- Proceed from a 'plain vanilla' DOS prompt.
- Simply type <Go> and the press the Enter key and you will be
- presented with a master menu from which you can choose to view the
- introductory to the research, which includes the registration form,
- and the shareware (or registered) versions of THE ORIGINS OF
- MYTHOLOGY and the MATSE AND THE DREAMTIME. Simply follow the self
- explanatory instructions at the bottom of the screen. The opening
- screen of each the 'book' will appear with menu items for you to
- select with the keyboard. These menu items correspond to chapter
- or section headings within the document. By selecting one, you will
- jump immediately to that section. If you wish to read the document
- from the beginning to the end without interruption, select the first
- menu item and proceed. Moving throughout the 'book' is intuitive
- using the arrow, page, home and end keys. Read the top and bottom
- menu bars for 'hot keys' which allow you to save and print sections
- or the entire 'book' and perform other functions. There are several
- exceptional illustrations in each book which can be located either
- spontaneously if you do a continuous read from beginning to end
- or by jumping from their own menu item. To view them, simply follow
- the on-screen instructions and press the X key: any key press will
- return to the text.
- If you have the Microscoft Word for Windows version,
- decompress the files to your WinWord directory. Files may
- be opened and read as you would any text or doc file. The same
- procedure should be followed for the version which is a package of
- several ASCII text files.
