~HELP USING APLUS FILE VIEWER

      The APLUS file viewer allows you to view or execute the files
 associated with each program.  Use the ARROW KEYS and PgUp/PgDn keys
 to hi-lite the file you wish to view or execute.  
 
      The file viewer has full mouse support.  To simulate pressing
 ESC click the mouse anywhere outside the current window.  To exit
 viewing a file press the right mouse button.

      Following is a explanation of the options available from this 
 screen.  More help is available for individual topics.


  F1    - HELP! / The F1 key displays context sensitive help.

  F2    - CREATE BATCH / This feature makes APLUS CD-ROMS easier to
          use.  The F2 key allows you to create a BATCH FILE to
          execute your selected program.  This feature means you can
          execute your choices from the CD-ROM without having to copy
          the program files or start the COPYCAT program.  All you 
          have to do is run the batch file.  After creating a batch 
          file all it takes is a single command to start a program 
          residing on the CD-ROM.  Choose HELP after pressing F2 for
          more information.


  F3    - SORT ORDER / The order in which files names are displayed 
          can be set using this option.

            In addition to the standard sort orders the APLUS file
          viewer includes the CUSTOM sort.  This feature sorts the 
          files in the following order:

          README   -  README's of any kind are sorted to the top.
          DOC
          TXT
          DIZ
          BAT
          EXE
          COM      -  The rest are sorted in this order.  Additional 
                      files are left unsorted.

          FILENAME EXTENSIONS

            The extension of a filename indicates what kind of file 
          it is.  Following is a partial list of extensions and mean-
          ings: 
          
          DOC  -  Almost always contains program documentation.
          TXT  -  Usually contains documentation or messages.
          HLP  -  Help files. May be viewable text or sometimes con-
                  tains compressed data the program uses internally.
          DIZ  -  A short description of the programs.  Used mostly by
                  BBS operators.
          READ -  Any file with the word READ in it should be viewed 
                  first. (Examples: README.FST, README.NOW, READ.ME, 
                  README.1ST, README.TXT, etc)
          EXE  -  Executable file.  These are the files that can be
                  executed. Usually used to start the program. Viewing
                  EXE files will sometimes reveal copyright notices.
                  (The APLUS file viewer switchs to HEX mode for view-
                  ing EXE and other system type files.)
          COM  -  Sames as EXE files but limited to 64k in size.
          BAT  -  Batch file.  Named batch file because it can contain
                  multiple DOS commands. Batch files are often used to
                  install or start programs. Viewing them before exe-
                  cuting them can give an idea of what they will do.
          ZIP  -  Archived file extension.  This is a packed file. May
                  contain many compressed files.  Usually install 
                  routines will use these files to install programs.
                  (Other archive extensions: PAK, LZH, ARJ, ARC & 
                  more.)


  F5    - SHELL TO DOS / When you press the F5 key the file viewer
          will attempt to exit into the current directory.  You can
          return from a shell by typing the word EXIT at the DOS 
          prompt the press RETURN. 
          
          This will allow you to access the files from the DOS command 
          line.  When shelled from the file viewer you may run, copy
          or list any files as you noramally would.

          IMPORTANT!!!  -  When shelling to DOS the file viewer 
          attempts to remove itself from memory by swapping itself to 
          expanded memory.  If enough memory is not available the
          program will attempt to use hard disk space. If no hard disk
          space is available the program will perform a normal shell.
          Using a normal shell will leave very little available 
          memory. If this should happen you will probabally not be 
          able to run the program.  Use the EXIT TO DIRECTORY feature 
          found in the COPYCAT program.


  ENTER - The ENTER key does different things depending on what type
          of file is hi-lited.  On any kind of text file pressing
          ENTER displays the file in a scrollable window.  If the 
          file extension is EXE, COM or BAT you will be given a 
          chance to execute or view the file.  The viewer automatic-
          ally switches to hexadecimal when viewing EXE or COM files.

          When executing files from the viewer you may have problems.
          Sometimes programs need to have command line parameters
          passed to them.  Sometimes they just won't run from a CD-
          ROM.  You may have to exit file viewer to run the program.
          Make sure you read all instructions before attempting to 
          execute a program.


  ESC   - The ESC key exits the file viewer program and returns to 
          the COPYCAT program.


~HELP USING APLUS FILE VIEWER
~CREATE BATCH FILE TO RUN  
          
        The F2 key allows you to create a BATCH FILE to execute
      your selected program.  This feature means you can execute
      your choices from the CD-ROM without having to copy the
      program files or start the COPYCAT program.  All you have
      to do insert the CD-ROM then run the batch file.  After 
      creating a batch file all it takes is a single command to 
      start a program residing on the CD-ROM.

      CREATING BATCH FILES
       
        Creating the batch file is done entirely by the program.
      You just follow the prompts and the batch file will be
      created where you specify.  Where you put the batch file is
      very important.  If you store the batch files in a directory
      that is listed in your path they can be executed any time
      are at a DOS prompt.
   
        To use batch files effectively you will need to understand 
      the DOS PATH command.  For those who have never used the 
      PATH command or do not fully understand it's function the 
      following is a short explanation.

        When you type a command at the DOS prompt and press the 
      ENTER key the command processor (COMMAND.COM) will follow a 
      sequence of checks to determine what kind of command you 
      entered.  DOS has a variety of command functions built in.  
      These include the COPY, TYPE and DIR commands.  When you 
      type anything at the DOS prompt the first thing the command 
      processor checks is the list of internal commands.  If what 
      you entered is not an internal command the command processor 
      then checks to see if a program by the name you entered is 
      residing in the currently logged directory.  If it is the 
      program will be executed.  

        If you DO NOT have a PATH command set and the command you 
      entered is not an internal command and it is not a program 
      name in the current directory the command processor returns 
      a message of Bad Command or Filename then returns to the 
      DOS prompt.  If you DO have a PATH command set the the 
      command processor will search every directory listed in the
      PATH for the command you have typed.  For example:  If you 
      have a PATH that contains multiple directories the command
      processor will search for commands you type in the follow-
      ing order.

      1.  It first checks to see if you have entered an internal 
          DOS command such as DIR or COPY.
          
      2.  Next it checks the current directory.  If you are in 
          the DOS directory it will check each name to see if it is 
          the one you entered.
          
      3.  If you have a path statement it will then check the 
          files in each directory listed in the PATH.

           
~CREATE BATCH FILE TO RUN  
~SELECT PROGRAM CATEGORIES

      Selecting this option will display a list of dozen's of program 
 categories.  In addition to the program categories there are a 
 number of text files that can be viewed and program features such as
 printing the catalog, global searching, checking your machines
 hardware specifications and more.

~SELECT PROGRAM CATEGORIES
~REVIEW TAGGED PROGRAMS

      While you are viewing the different program categories you can
 use the + and - keys to TAG or UNTAG files.  After you have tagged
 files you may use this option to review your tagged choices.

      You may also save your tagged files to a floppy disk.  You may
 then take the floppy disk with your tagged files on it to your share-
 ware dealer.  His program will "read in" your tagged files and make
 disk copies.

~REVIEW TAGGED PROGRAMS
~TAG CATEGORIES TO SEARCH

      From this screen you may search the entire catalog or select-
 tively search categories by tagging them.  If you know what category
 of program you are searching for such as EDUCATION or GAMES you may
 scroll thru category list and "tag" only the categories you need.
 This will greatly reduce the amount of time it takes to search.  You
 may use the following keys to "tag" or "untag" categories:

      ENTER                      STARTS THE SEARCH

      INSERT or +                TAGS the HI-LITED file
      DELETE or -                UNTAGS the HI-LITED file 
      SPACEBAR                   TAGS or UNTAGS ALL CATEGORIES
      HOME                       MOVES SCROLL BAR to TOP of LIST 
      END                        MOVES SCROLL BAR to BOTTOM of LIST 
      ESC                        QUITS SEARCHING CURRENT CATEGORY
      ESC ESC                    CANCELS the GLOBAL SEARCH

      After you have tagged the categories to search you must enter a
 "search string".  Press the ENTER key and you will be prompted to 
 enter a string to search for.  This string can be any word or number
 or combination of words and numbers.  You may also do AND/OR searches.

 AND/OR SEARCHING

      An AND search allows you to enter up to 5 different strings then
 have the program search for occurances of them when they appear
 together in the same description.  For example: GAME and VGA would
 find only programs that had both the word GAME and the word VGA some-
 where in thier description.  If the AND search had an additional
 string such as: GAME and VGA and ARCADE the program would find only
 VGA ARCADE GAMES.

      An OR search allows you to search for multiple strings at the
 same time.  You may enter up to 5 separate strings.  For example:
 VGA or EGA or CGA would locate all programs that have graphic 
 capibilities.

 NOTE:  Using AND when searching causes the program to search the 
        entire description.  A single word search does a line by line
        search.

~TAG CATEGORIES TO SEARCH
~PERFORMING SWAP FOR SHELL

      When you select to view a program from within the catalog the
 catalog program will attempt to "swap" itself out of memory so that
 the file viewer will have as much memory as possible.  The file
 viewer program will swap itself out of memory if you try to execute
 a file or if you press the F5 key to Shell To DOS.

      Both programs attempt to swap themselves to Expanded memory.
 (Swapping to Expanded memory is very fast.)  If enough Expanded
 memory is not available they will attempt to swap to the C: hard
 disk.  If there is not enough space on C: drive the program will ask
 you to select another drive or perform a standard shell.  If you
 choose not to swap to a hard disk the standard shell will leave very
 little memory for running the program.

      If for any reason you cannot execute a program from within the
 file viewer you can choose to exit the catalog directly into the
 sub-directory where the program is located.  Note: Some programs
 must be installed to a hard disk to be run.


~PERFORMING SWAP FOR SHELL
~EXECUTING OR VIEWING FILES

      Files that end with a COM, EXE or BAT extension can be executed
 or displayed.  If you choose to execute them the file viewer program
 will attempt to swap itself out of memory to leave as much memory as
 possible for running the program.  If for any reason you cannot run
 the program you should try using the Exit To DOS feature found in
 the catalog program.  (Note: Some programs must be installed to a
 hard disk to be run.)

      When you choose to view a COM or EXE file you should bear in
 mind there will not be much to see.  Executable files are meant to
 understood by computers not humans.  You may however discover some
 interesting information such as copyright notices or error messages.

      Viewing a batch file can often display information that will
 give you an idea of what the batch file is intended to do.  Many
 programs have batch files that are used to start them.

~EXECUTING OR VIEWING FILES
~FILE NOT FOUND

      This file's program number/name could not be found.  You may
 have entered it incorrectly or it is possible an error in the
 program is responsible.  If you are certain you have entered the
 number correctly or you get this error when trying to access a
 hi-lited file please contact Advantage Plus for assistance.

~FILE NOT FOUND
~DISK DRIVE LETTER

      Select the drive letter of the disk you wish to format.  After
 selecting the drive you will be prompted to select the type of
 format to perform.

~OPTIONS WHILE SEARCHING

      By pressing the ENTER key you can have many options available
 while the program is performing a search.  Following is a more
 detailed description of these options function:

      Copy program      - Select this option to copy the currently
                          hi-lited program.  After copying you may
                          continue or cancel the search.

      Search            - This option continues searching the current
                          file.  You can press the F2 key to continue
                          searching without displaying the options
                          menu.

      Exit              - The cancels the search and returns to the
                          category list.

      Return            - Select this option to return to viewing the
                          current file.  This allows you to hi-lite
                          a different filename.  Cancels the options
                          display without doing anything.

      Skip              - Skip will cancel searching the currently
                          loaded file then continue searching with the
                          next.

      Help!             - Displays this help screen.



~OPTIONS WHILE SEARCHING
~VIEWING CATEGORY FILES

       While viewing the different categories in our catalog you have
 two additional options.  You may tag files to review later (Tagged
 files can be saved to disk), and search for any string using AND/OR
 specifiers.  (You may copy the programs you have tagged to floppy or
 hard disk by choosing COPY/REVIEW TAGGED FILES from the MAIN MENU.

       The following keys are active while viewing the program 
 descriptions:

         F1              - Displays this help screen.
         INSERT or +     - TAGS the hi-lited FILENAME.
         DEL or -        - UN-TAGS the hi-lited FILENAME.
         PGUP            - Scrolls the file UP one page.
         PGDN            - Scrolls the file DOWN one page.
                       - Scrolls the file UP or DOWN one line.
         HOME            - Moves to the TOP of the file.
         END             - Moves to the END of the file.
         SPACEBAR        - TAGS or UN-TAGS all files.
         ESC             - RETURNS to the MAIN MENU.

~VIEWING CATEGORY FILES
~PRINT CATALOG

      From this screen you may print the entire catalog or select-
 tively print any of the available categories.  You may use the 
 following keys to "tag" or "untag" categories:

      ENTER                      BEGIN PRINTING

      INSERT or +                TAGS the HI-LITED file
      DELETE or -                UNTAGS the HI-LITED file 
      SPACEBAR                   TAGS or UNTAGS ALL CATEGORIES

      END                        MOVES SCROLL BAR to BOTTOM of LIST 

      After you have tagged the categories to print press the ENTER
 key.  You will be prompted ARE YOU READY TO PRINT <Y/N>?  Make sure
 your printer is ready then press the Y key to begin.

 NOTE:  The entire catalog is over 800k of text.  As a general rule one
        page of text equals about 3k of memory or disk space.  This
        means printing the entire catalog would require nearly 270
        sheets of paper.

~PRINT CATALOG
~SEARCHING DESCRIPTIONS

      This option performs a NON-CASE-SENSITIVE search in the currently
 selected category.  To search press the ENTER key then you will be
 prompted to enter a string to search for.  This string can be any word
 or number or combination of words and numbers.  You may also do AND/OR
 searches.  The HI-LITE bar will stop on each match it finds.  You may
 use the + and - keys to "tag" or "untag" files for late review while
 searching.  Press ENTER key to FIND THE NEXT occurance of a string.

 AND/OR SEARCHING

      An AND search allows you to enter up to 5 different strings then
 have the program search for occurances of them when they appear
 together in the same description.  For example: GAME and VGA would
 find only programs that had both the word GAME and the word VGA some-
 where in thier description.  If the AND search had an additional
 string such as: GAME and VGA and ARCADE the program would find only
 VGA ARCADE GAMES.

      An OR search allows you to search for multiple strings at the

~CONTINUE VIEWING
~SAVE/RETRIEVE TAGGED FILES

      After you have reviewed the program descriptions and tagged
 some files you may save to or retrieve these files from disk.  This
 allows you to review files at different times without having to note
 the files already reviewed.  

      When you save your files to floppy disk a file named TAGLIST
 will be created.  If you take this file to your shareware dealer
 his software will be able to read the file then make disk copies.

 NOTE:  Two of the most common errors that occur when trying to save
        a tagged file list is NOT ENOUGH DISK SPACE and TOO MANY
        FILES.  You will need at least 2k of free disk space and less
        than 112 files on the floppy disk. (DOS permits only 112
        files in the "root" directory of a floppy disk.)

~SAVE/RETRIEVE TAGGED FILES
~COPY/REVIEW TAGGED PROGRAMS

      While viewing the program listings you may use the + and - keys
 to "tag" files to copy.  This option allows you to hi-lite each tagged
 file then copy it to a floppy or hard disk.

      You may retrieve tagged files from disk then use this option
 to make copies.  You may also copy files by file number, and format
 floppy disk using this option.

 NOTE:  Press F1 after choosing this option for more information.

~COPY/REVIEW TAGGED PROGRAMS
~FORMAT A FLOPPY DISK

      The COPYCAT program will format both 5 1/4 inch and 3 1/2 inch
 floppy disks in any of four formats.

                     5 1/4 inch 360k
                     5 1/4 inch 1.2 meg.
                     3 1/2 inch 720k
                     3 1/2 inch 1.44 meg.

       When formatting a floppy disk the COPYCAT program does a simple
 shell and calls our fast formatting program FASTFMT.EXE.  The FASTFMT
 program can be customized using the FASTF.BAT batch file.

       By editing the FASTF.BAT file you can set a variety of defaults
 including custom volume labels written to each disk, and quick formats
 for preformatted disks.

       For more information on customizing FASTFMT.EXE edit the FASTF
 .BAT file and run the FASTFMT.EXE program without any parameters.

~FORMAT A FLOPPY DISK
~COPY HI-LITED FILE

       You may copy any file in the catalog by hi-liting the filename
 and number with the scroll bar then pressing the ENTER key.  You will
 be prompted to enter a drive letter and/or path.

       The program will automatically create a subdirectory if you
 enter it along with the drive letter.  If for example you enter:
 A:\TEMP a subdirectory named TEMP will be created on the A: drive and
 the program you have hi-lited will be copied the A:\TEMP directory.

~COPY HI-LITED FILE
~LIST/SHELL/EXIT
       
 There are three options available from this point:

 LIST  -  Pressing the L key will bring up a directory listing of the
          files for the currently hi-lited program.  From the file
          viewer you can read the program's text files or execute and
          and review it from the CD-ROM.

          Most programs will have .DOC or .TXT files that contain
          information on using or installing the program.  Be sure to
          read any files named README or README.*.  Readme files are
          generally the first file you should read.  The file viewer
          program can also display the contents of .EXE and .COM
          files in Hexadecimal mode.

 SHELL -  The SHELL option allows you exit the CD-ROM catalog into
          the directory where the program is located.  From here you
          can execute programs, copy files or perform any other DOS
          function.  You can return to the catalog program to review
          more programs by simply typing EXIT.  When shelled from
          the COPYCAT program you should have all available memory
          except about 5k.  Note: You can also shell from the File
          viewing program with all available memory except about 10k.

 EXIT  -  The EXIT feature will change you to the currently hi-lited
          program's directory then exit the catalog program.  You can
          then run the program, copy it's files or perform any other
          DOS function.  Using the EXIT feature gives you all of your
          system's available memory.  To restart the catalog program
          type the command CD\ then press ENTER.  Type GO to start
          the program.  (Recommendation: After you have located
          programs you wish to use create BATCH files to execute them
          from the DOS prompt.  To learn more about BATCH files refer
          to your DOS manual.)

  COPYCAT  -  CD-ROM Library Access Program
  Copyright 1993 (C) Advantage Plus Distributors Inc.


  COMMAND LINE PARAMETERS

  /C           - Starts the program in copy mode.  Used only in con-
                 junction with the library CD-ROM.

  /? or /H     - Displays this help screen then exits.

  /D           - Specifies location of the CD-ROM drive.  Use when 
                 running COPYCAT in copy mode.  Example: COPYCAT /C
                 /DF will unpack programs from the F: drive.
  
  /Bfilename   - Causes the program to execute a program or batch file 
                 each time a copy is made.  Useful for maintaining 
                 logs or copying special files to the disks.  Example:
                 CAT /C /BLOG would execute the file LOG each time a 
                 copy is made.  The program passes 6 parameters to the
                 file being run.  In a batch file these would be:

                     %1 = DRIVE (A:)       %4 = CURRENT TIME
                     %2 = FILENUMBER       %5 = CURRENT TIME
                     %3 = FILENAME         %6 = RPT FILENAME

 /L            - Copies programs in archived form.  Default is to 
                 unpack programs as they are copied.

 /P            - Enables PASSWORD PROTECTION to prevent unauthorized 
                 exit from from the program.

 /N           - Disables the display of Bonus! programs in the CAT 
                program and the calculation of Bonus! programs on the 
                order form.
