WSSINDEX is a program for indexing a collection of disks.
Complete documentation (about 60 pages long) for all programs in
the package is found in file WSSI405.DOC. The public domain
program CUTPAST3.COM which is also supplied has its own
documentation in file CUTPAST3.DOC. Users upgrading from
previous versions should look at the file BUGLIST.DOC to see
what's been added or fixed.
After extraction from the distribution disk, any files with
extension DOC (and any others except COM, EXE and CNF files ) are
documentation files. You can view them in several ways using DOS
commands:
1. PRINT filename (output goes to printer)
2. TYPE filename (output appears on screen, probably
too fast to read)
3. TYPE filename | MORE (output to screen, pausing when
screen fills)
4. TYPE filename >PRN (output goes to printer)
Documentation files are formatted for 66 lines per page,
including top and bottom margins. If you don't have continuous
form paper in your printer, or if you just want to read the
documentation on screen, you can load the files into your
favorite word processing program. If you use a word processor to
print the DOC files, you will probably want to tell it not to
insert blanks at the beginning of each line since this has
already been done, and you may need to adjust your margins.
Vernon Buerg's LIST, or PC Magazine's BROWSE program are also
convenient for viewing the DOC files on screen because they let
you rapidly move forward and backward through a file.
If you see garbage characters on the screen (arrows, ['s and
numbers) when you try to run the program, you should read about
configuring to use direct video writes in the Overview and
Tutorial chapter, or about ANSI.SYS in Appendix A.
