============================= README.TXT ================================
Welcome to the December, 1994 edition of the Walnut Creek "Sampler" CDROM!
This disc contains sample programs from our line of CDROM products,
ranging from MSDOS/Windows shareware to Linux/FreeBSD boot floppies
to royalty-free images. Index files of all of our discs are included
to provide a reference of what is available in each of our titles.
===========================================================================
Here is a list of some important files and directories:
go.bat MSDOS batch file: views readme, view.doc, then starts VIEW.EXE
view.exe MSDOS: file viewer for the index files
setup.exe Windows: Creates Program Group & Icons for the Eletronic Catalog
catalog.exe Windows: Electronic catalog and product sampler
gifview.exe Windows: GIF viewer (included as a bonus)
dirs.txt Text file: description of the directories
00_index.txt Text file: lists all of the files on the disc
v_inst.bat MSDOS batch file: Installs VPIC .GIF viewer onto your HD
v_uninst.bat MSDOS batch file: Uninstalls VPIC .GIF viewer from your HD
utils\ Directory: MSDOS utilities used on this disc
bmp256\ Directory: .bmp pictures of our disc covers
discs\ Directory: index files & samples from our CDROMs

===========================================================================
To use this disc, you will need to unarchive the compressed programs
on the CDROM to your hard disk. Files that end in the ".zip"
extension are compressed.
To make browsing the disk easier, we have included the VIEW program
for MSDOS in the root directory of the CDROM. This program allows
you to page through the index files and then unarchive the program(s)
you want onto your hard disk.
===========================================================================
Although you may own this disc, you do not own the programs recorded
on it. Many of the programs on this disc are shareware. You are
free to try each program for a limited amount of time. If you are
satisfied, and want to continue to use the program, you are required
to register the program by sending a specified amount of money
directly to the author of the program. Often the author will send
you the most up to date version of the program and a printed manual.
Please check the individual files for specific information. Please
help support shareware by contributing to these authors. They make
discs like this possible.
============================================================================
Walnut Creek CDROM is an approved vendor and associate member of the
Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure
that the shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to
resolve a shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting
the member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can
help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does
not provide technical support for members' products. Please write to
the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442 or send a
CompuServe message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.
