WELCOME!

Thank you for purchasing this CD-ROM. We appreciate your business. We
hope that you find the use of this CD-ROM both easy and exciting.

             !!! YOU MUST INSTALL THE SOFTWARE !!!

To install the ShareWare OnLine Retrieval System, go to the starting 
directory of your CD-ROM drive and type "GO COLOR" or "GO MONO".
If your CD-ROM drive letter is S:, for example, you would enter
the following commands:

C:\> S:
S:\> CD \
S:\> GO COLOR

After this is done, the ShareWare OnLine Retrieval System  will
execute.  At this time you should choose option 6 on the menu to
install the software onto your hard disk. You MUST DO THIS before
running any other option on the program. The install option on
the menu creates the directories \online, \online\work and
\online\unzip on the destination drive. It then writes a batch
file called install.bat. It then moves you to that drive and
into the online directory. At this point, the user should
execute the install.bat before doing anything else. This will
install the files and give you some preliminary instructions on
how to execute the ShareWare OnLine Retrieval System.

The ShareWare OnLine Retrieval System will not run without the
installation. Please install it. We hope you will appreciate
its speed and versatility.

Once installed, the ShareWare OnLine Retrieval System will allow
you to effortlessly copy and view PKZip Archives and Gif
pictures. With PKZip archives you can copy, unzip and view
contents. With Gif pictures you can copy and view. Yes, you can
look at the pictures, if you have a VGA monitor, directly off
the CD-ROM. There is tagging for copying and unzipping multiple
files from the CD-ROM. We think you will like it.

To Our Users: 

We personally thank you for buying our CD-ROM. Originally, the
project began as a what-if and became more and more serious. We
have spent a lot of late nights and cracked a lot of jokes since
the first day we started the project. Most of the marketing has
been done by Dave, who was into the CD-ROM business long before
I even thought of it. Most of the file cleaning, downloading
and hardware handling has been done George. For both of us it has
been both enjoyable and enlightening.

By the time you read this we are probably spending late nights
again for an update or maybe a new creation. New software rolls
in daily. Please keep an eye out for new releases of ShareWare
OnLine or other CD-ROMs created by us. 

Thank you and good luck.
