This means DO NOT plagarise our work or we'll be forced to take legal action!! Otherwise enjoy.. The majority of files on this disk have been packed using Nico Francois' PowerPacker V4.0 facilitating more space for further data and a module on the floppy disk media. Upon bootup, the OctaMED MMD1 module loads and may be terminated by pressing both mouse buttons. There is also a menu button to start the music again if you so wish. Each section contains a relevant text based document explaining the appropriate directory's data type and brief description of same.. If you wish to unpack a document or pic file for you own use then the 'DECRUNCH' utility which has been provided to facilitate this and which may be found resident within the 'c' directory.
