If you have this archive, which should be named PCSHX10B.EXE for the sake of its associated installation program, with its companion archive, PCSHX10A.EXE, there is no need for you to read this file: Start there instead. If you have otherwise come across it, however, please continue. You will find here a number of very interesting and useful freely distributed and mostly UNIX-like programs. One role they can have is to extend your DOS operating system to support the program described below. The program is called PC-Shakespeare, and this archive is one of 4 which together install as a fully functional six play sample. It is more than a computerized concordance, rather it is a tool to think about and organize ones thoughts concerning the whats, whys and hows of all of Shakespeare's works, as well as draw out specfic contents and subjects therein. It should be broadly useful to writers, teachers, students, scholars and those in the dramatic arts, as well as anyone who wishes to use what is new in our world to investigate what is best in it. PC-Shakespeare embodies many characteristics of what has come to be called 'hypertext', and some new ideas as well. It has an attractive, convenient and internally consistent mouse-driven interface with a built-in help system. If you keep it resident on your hard disk, the full version occupies about 6.5 megabytes, but it cooperates with dearchiving itself, so it can remain available in much less space. The sample uses 1.5. The fully functional sample of PC-Shakespeare with the plays King John, Richard II, the two Henry IVs, Henry V, and Henry VIII may be obtained from me for $5.00. ($10.00 Overseas). This is merely a distribution charge and it includes postage and tax. The complete version is $54.00.
