FORTUNE TELLER, BEGINNING VERSION - IMPORTANT NOTICE
PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP COPY OF YOUR DISTRIBUTION DISKETTE BEFORE YOU BEGIN.
Store the original in a safe place and use the copy for your work. See the
DISKCOPY command in your DOS manual.
The enclosed diskette contains the file FORTUNE.ARC. This is an archive file
containing "crunched" files. That means the files have been made smaller
using a special archiving process so that they could all be included on a
single disk. To "uncrunch" them, you need to use the file ARCE.COM, which
is also included. Follow these instructions to uncrunch your files:
1. YOU MUST BE USING A HARD DISK: Make sure you are using the subdirectory
where you want these files to be placed. Start from the A> prompt, with the
distribution diskette in the A drive. Enter the following command:
ARCE FORTUNE.ARC C:\SUBDIR /R
Instead of "SUBDIR", type the actual name of the subdirectory you want to
use. The program will now uncrunch all files and place them on your hard
disk.
The following files should now be on your hard disk:
FORTUNE.EXE RUNES.EXE FORTUNE.DOC ARCE.DOC
2. MANUAL: If you have a typical printer setup with your computer, you can
print the instruction manual from your C> prompt. With all files installed
on the hard disk, start from the prompt and enter this command line:
TYPE FORTUNE.DOC > LPT1:
Or, you can view the manual on screen by entering this command line:
TYPE FORTUNE.DOC | MORE
Or, you can view and print the manual with most word processors using the
DOS text file (ASCII file) option. ("Non-document" mode for WordStar users.)
These same commands apply to ARCE.DOC, the manual for the ARCE program.
3. STARTING: To run FORTUNE TELLER, start from the prompt and enter this
command:
FORTUNE
