║ Read Me Information - PAF Review - From File #README.PRV ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ PAF Review - Edition 95.3 - March 1995 ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
PAF Review contains descriptive information about shareware and freeware
utilities that work with versions 2.xx of the Personal Ancestral File.
Except for a list of utilities for the MacIntosh version of PAF in file
@MAC.PAF, PAF Review relates only to the IBM PC version. The
"Cumulative" version of PAF Review is described by this file. It
completely supersedes all previous editions and contains complete
information on all programs and files covered up through this edition.
To create the individual files that make up PAF Review, run the program
INSTALL.EXE. It creates the other files in a hard disk directory that
you select. INSTALL first verifies that there is enough space - about
1MB of disk space for this edition. This number doesn't include the
installation programs but if space is tight you can install from a
floppy disk. Once the install is complete, you no longer need the
files named INSTALL.EXE, INSTALL.LZH, README and FILE_ID.DIZ.
After installation you can browse, search or print any of the included
material using the program PAFREV.EXE. There are no parameters required
and the PAF Review files are assumed to be in the current directory by
default. Type PAFREV /H for information on optional parameters. For
instructions on how to use PAFREV, use the built-in help by pressing
ALT H at any point. PAFREV includes the ability to: look at any file,
print a single file, print all files, and search for files containing a
short piece of text that you specify. The text files in PAF Review
can be also be displayed or printed using other utilities or commands.
PLEASE NOTE: Files in PAF Review end with a page eject character to
allow unattended printing via the DOS copy command. If you print with a
program that adds an eject at the end of each document, such as the DOS
PRINT command, you will have a blank page between each file.
