Dear Shareware Customer....
Welcome to the February 1997 edition of the JCS Marketing, Inc.
BEST of the www.BestZips.com CD-ROM!
This has been quite an issue! We have added or changed 360 programs
from 150 authors. Many of the new programs are Windows based, and are much
larger than the previous average. To accomodate the bigger programs, we
have purged programs submitted prior to 3/31/96.
The following is the distribution of submissions on the CD:
Publication
Issue Date #Programs Accumulated %Total(860)
23 02/97 360 360 42.6%
22 12/96 246 606 71.7%
21 09/96 55 661 78.2%
20 06/96 87 748 88.5%
19 05/96 61 809 95.7%
18 03/96 36 845 100.0%
We expect that the authors will continue to submit at the rate we are
experiencing, and the next issue (April 1997) may purge all except the
12/96 and 2/97 editions. Our CD is becoming VERY current. Those programs
purged (1104 purged programs as of today; total on-site 1988) are still
available on our web site, www.bestzips.com, and we invite you to visit
and browse.
To keep the size of this file at a minimum, other files are available in the
main directory:
CLASSDIR.TXT - Roadmap to our new directory structure
ALPHA.ASC - Alphabetical program List
CLASS.ASC - Program list by Numerical Classification
- Plus other files ending in .ASC for author mailing
lists, and other program sequences.
The CD-ROM contains:
a) Class subdirectories, which contain FILES.BBS and LFILES.BBS files for
those who wish to directly mount the CD-ROM on a BBS. Of interest, the
main directory also contains a FILES and LFILES directory for your
convenience. For those wanting a single file directory, an ALLFILES.TXT
and a LNGFILES.TXT file is also available.
b) A file access routine, JCSD.EXE for your convenience. If an author
has included a version for vendors, and another for BBSs, the access
routine now allows the user to UNZIP the appropriate version.
c) As a courtesy to the Author, and for the convenience of using
vendors, we have included various SCREEN SHOTS
supplied by the author. These files are available for UNZIPPING and
use as the user sees fit. They are most easily accessed thru the
access routine JCSD.EXE
d) A directory "VBRUN" which contains all five VBRUNXXX files required by
some windows programs.
To use the CD-ROM, two options are available......
1. Simply run from the CD-ROM, as is, by:
a: Make the CD-ROM drive the current drive.
b: Execute the program JCSD.
c: Follow the prompts.
2. Install the programs and files to your hard disk directories by:
a: Make the CD-ROM drive the current drive.
b: type INSTALL x y where:
x is the hard drive to which you want to install.
y is the drive code of your CD-ROM drive.
NOTE: DO NOT include the ":" with the drive letters
example: INSTALL C F
will install the files to the C: drive from the F: drive.
a subdirectory \JCSD will be created and about 5.0 mb
copied to it. You will be left in the directory created.
c: Execute JCSD
d: At later points, to execute the program, CD \JCSD, and
execute JCSD.
Enjoy the programs, and remember the requirement to
register the programs found useful! The authors whose works are
contained have paid for the distribution service, and appreciate your
support of the shareware concept by registering the programs found
useful.
Each of the next issues of the BEST of the A2V will be accumulative,
with the previous issue used as the basis for the new issue. New
programs will be added, and updates will replace previous versions.
