Welcome to the Arsenal CD-Rom Browsing utility!
We have written this utility specifically for use with Arsenal Computers'
CD-Roms. We hope you find it intuitive and very useful! We appreciate
your comments, so please drop us a line!
When browsing directories with the browser, any files not found in the
index will indicate 'Description could not be located.' in the description
window.
Whenever you highlight a directory name, the browser will display the
description for that directory. This may slow things down a bit if you
have single speed cdroms on a slower computer. You may toggle the display
of this information on and off by pressing the F6 key.
By default, the browser will not display special support files which are
placed in each directory as an added convenience to you in support of your
BBS. If you want these files to appear in the file list display, press F7
to turn on this feature.
If you find a file you would like to install (extract) onto your hard
drive, highlight the filename and press ALT-E. This command will instruct
the browser to extract the file. You will be prompted for a destination
directory. If the necessary archive extraction utility is not in your
DOS PATH= statement, then this operation may fail.
NOTE! The Extract function requires the use of PKUNZIP.EXE. Since we
don't own that one (grin!) it's not included in this archive. You can
obtain this program nearly anywhere. Heck, you probably already have
it, or else you would have had a VERY difficult time reading these zipped
up docs! (grin!)
To copy a highlighted file from the CDROM, press ALT-C. You will be
prompted for a destionation directory. If the file already exists in this
path, then it will be overwritten. If the directory you specified does not
exist, it will be created automatically.
You may view a text file by pressing ENTER when the filename is
highlighted.
The program supports viewing of archives created by PKZIP(tm) and
ZIP2EXE(tm). Other file formats are not currently supported since most of
our discs only contain .ZIP files.
There are two methods for locating files on the CD-ROM. You can search the
current directory by pressing ALT-S. After the first file is found, press
CONTROL-L to continue the search. To search the entire disc, press F10.
This type of search can be very time consuming on slower drives. After the
first file is found, CONTROL-L will take you to the next file. Searching
is by keywords or filenames. Wildcards are not supported. You can
interrupt the global search by pressing ESC or F10.
Disclaimer:
The Arsenal Browser is provided as an added convenience, and no warranties
are made or implied as to its suitability for any specific purpose.
The Arsenal Browser makes use of the shareware PKUNZIP.EXE program for
extracting files. If you would like to obtain a copy of the full
shareware archive, call our BBS and you can download it on your first
call.
