- If you are a pedestrian PC user reading this, I'm afraid
- !Prophet, !Tanks and !Texture run only on super-fast Acorn Risc
- computers, not on mere Dos or Windows machines (sorry).
- You can, however, read the text files within each of the folders.
-
- See the Acorn column in this issue (108) of Computer Shopper.

- Acorn users will have to decompress the archives on this CD
- using !Sparkplug. Just run !Sparkplug, then drop the archive onto it.
- A new window will open showing its contents, which you may need
- to copy to a floppy or hard disk and run from there.
- By archiving applications like this, we are not only saving space
- on the CD but also protecting Acorn filenames (more characters
- and not all capitals) and filetypes from dreadful Dos.
-
- If you do not already have !Sparkplug (or Spark or SparkFS),
- a copy is provided on this Shopper CD. Here's what to do:
- 1. Copy the directory SPARKPLG to your hard disk or a floppy.
- 2. Open this copy. Press Menu over !GO and set its filetype to "Obey".
- 3. Doubleclick on !GO.
- The application !Sparkplug will appear. To run it, doubleclick as usual.
- You may want to keep !Sparkplug in your Apps or Utilities folder
- for future use. (You can delete the files used in the extraction process:
- !Go, Nspark, Settypes.)
