IMPORTANT NOTES ON UN-ZIPPING COMPRESSED FILES:
FILES WITH THE EXTENSION .ZIP ARE ARCHIVED. THESE NEED TO BE UNZIPPED OR
UNCOMPRESSED BEFORE USE. IF YOU HAVE A HARD DRIVE, CREATE A NEW SUBDIRECTORY
AND COPY THE ENTIRE CONTENTS OF THIS DISK INTO IT. CHANGE THE DRIVE
TO YOUR HARD DRIVE C:> PROMPT. CHANGE DIRECTORIES TO THE NEWLY CREATED
DIRECTORY AND TYPE THE FOLLOWING COMMAND: PKUNZIPF *.ZIP
THEN PRESS <ENTER>. AFTER THE NEW FILES ARE CREATED, ERASE OR DELETE FILES
WITH THE .ZIP EXTENSION ON THE HARD DRIVE TO CONSERVE STORAGE SPACE.
IF YOU HAVE A DUAL FLOPPY DRIVE SYSTEM, PUT THIS ORIGINAL PROGRAM DISK IN
DRIVE A. PLACE A BLANK FORMATTED DISK IN DRIVE B. COPY THE FILE PKUNZIPF.EXE
AND ONE FILE WITH .ZIP FROM DRIVE A TO B. REPEAT THIS PROCEEDURE BY
REMOVING THE DISK FROM DRIVE B AND REPLACING IT WITH ANOTHER BLANK FOR-
MATTED DISK. COPY THE FILE PKUNZIPF.EXE ONTO THE NEW DISK IN DRIVE B AS BEFORE,
BUT COPY ANOTHER FILE WITH .ZIP TO THE NEW DISK AS WELL. IN OTHER WORDS, EACH
NEW DISK HAS THE SAME PKUNZIPF.EXE COPIED ONTO IT BUT EACH HAS A DIFFERENT FILE
NAME WITH A .ZIP EXTENSION ON IT. THIS METHOD WORKS BEST IF THE 2ND. DRIVE YOU
ARE COPYING TO IS OF 720K CAPACITY OR LARGER, AND NOT THE STANDARD 360K 5 1/4"
FLOPPY DISK DRIVE FOUND ON MANY OLDER COMPUTERS.
THEN UNZIP THE FILES ON EACH DISK AS SHOWN WITH THE HARD DRIVE INSTRUCTIONS.
LOG ONTO THE B DRIVE, AND TYPE: PKUNZIPF *.ZIP TO UNCOMPRESS THE FILES.
REPLACE THE DISK WITH THE FIRST ONE YOU COPIED THE FILES TO, AND REPEAT
THE SAME PROCEDURE. AGAIN, ERASE OR DELETE THE FILES ON THE FLOPPIES
THAT END IN .ZIP BECAUSE THEY ARE NO LONGER NEEDED.
KEEP THIS ORIGINAL PROGRAM DISK COMPLETE WITH ALL FILES AS A BACKUP. YOU MAY
NOW PRINT OUT ALL DOCUMENTATION AND INTRUCTIONS IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE
SO. MAKE SURE YOUR PRINTER IS ON LINE AND LOADED WITH PLENTY OF PAPER.
THEN PLACE ALL DISK COPIES THAT YOU HAVE JUST UNARCED ABOVE IN DRIVE A, ONE
AT A TIME TO PRINT OUT YOUR DOCUMENTATION. COMMANDS TO TYPE ARE AS FOLLOWS:
MANUAL (PRESS ENTER)
IF THIS COMMAND DOES NOT WORK, TYPE THE COMMAND: COPY *.DOC PRN (ENTER)
IT IS NORMAL TO GET SOME "FILE NOT FOUND" MESSAGES WHEN YOU TYPE THE ABOVE.
NEXT PLACE YOUR ORIGINAL DISK RECEIVED IN DRIVE A. NORMALY YOU WILL HAVE
SOME FILES ON IT NOT FOUND ON YOUR UNARCHIVED COPIES. AS A RESULT, YOU WILL
WANT TO TYPE IN THE COMMAND: MANUAL (PRESS ENTER) TO PRINT MORE DOCUMENTATION.
