Overview:
The PsL Monthly CD contains all the new and updated programs written up
in the current month's issue of PsL News. (It does not include programs
in the Listing in the back of PsL News which were already in PsL.)
This program displays the complete text of the issue of PsL News on
which this CD is based, excluding the Listing, and will install any of
the programs with the press of a key. When displaying the descriptions,
simply select a filename with the right/left cursor keys and press I.
The files on this CD are in ZIP format and contain a FILE_ID.DIZ, for
ease of access on BBSs. The file PKZIP204.EXE is a self-extracting
archive located in the root directory of the CD. It is required for
un-ZIP-ing the files. If you do not already have PKUNZIP available in a
directory in your path, copy PKZIP204.EXE to your hard disk and execute
it to extract the files within it. Then copy PKUNZIP.EXE to a directory
in your PATH. (Type PATH at the DOS prompt to see what directories are
in your PATH. See your DOS manual.)
Also in the root directory of the CD is a file with the name VIEW.COM
which is a simple file scrolling/viewing utility. If you do not already
have a file viewing utility, copy this one to a directory in your PATH.
Command Line Install:
If you are sure of the filename of a program (eg: from reading it in
PsL News), you can install it from the command line without having
to search for the file by using the following command syntax:
PSL_NEWS FILENAME
Examples: PSL_NEWS CTECH.ZIP
PSL_NEWS CSHEARTS.ZIP
PSL_NEWS MARIO.ICO
If the name you enter cannot be found, run PSL_NEWS without a file
name and search for the program or change to the file's directory
and type \GO or manually install it from DOS using PKUNZIP.
A description file by the name of "_DIRLIST" is in each directory and
contains the descriptions taken from the PsL News for the programs in
that directory.
Installing with \GO:
You can do a quick read-and-install of the programs in a directory by
changing into the directory and typing \GO.
The directory named REVIEWS contains the write-ups of more than 7000
programs that are in PsL, arranged by category. The programs RVW_DOS
and RVW_WIN, located in the REVIEWS directory of the CD, can be used to
access and read those files. (RVW_WIN is a Windows version of RVW_DOS.)
Programs in those files may be ordered from PsL.
