================================ README ================================
This disc contains the MicroSoft Windows Archive from CICA (The Center for
Innovative Computing Applications) at Indiana University.
==========================================================================
You can use this disc several ways. You can run some programs
directly from the CDROM. You can also copy files to your hard disk
and run them there. A few programs need to write into the directory
where they live and therefore can't run from the read-only CDROM
drive.
To run a program directly from the disc:
Open File Manager window in main group.
Select your CDROM drive letter.
Select the appropriate directory for the program you want to
execute. The unzipped programs are in \win3. See the entire
list below.
Select and run the program you want.
You can find which files you want to use with the VIEW program
in the root directory of the disc. This program lets you page
through the index files and then copy the program you want to your
hard disk. You can run the VIEW program in a DOS window or with the File
Manager. If you use File Manager, simply type
e:VIEW
at the run option bar. (Substitute your CDROM's drive letter for the
example drive letter e:.) You can then either run the program using
the File Manager or Program Manager. Just select the disk, directory
and program where you had VIEW copy the program and click on Run.
To install the program so it displays an icon in your applications
group you need to run the windows Setup program found in the Main
group.
First select Windows Setup in the Main Group.
Then select Options in the menu bar.
Select Set Up Applications.
Select Ask You to Specify An Application.
Type the path and name of the program you'd like to install.
Windows setup will copy the program's icon into the Application Group
and set up the program to run from the icon. From then on, as long
as the CDROM disc is in the drive, you can run the program by
clicking on its icon.
For example, to make an permanant icon for boxworld after
copying it with VIEW you would type:
c:\cica\win3\games\boxworld\boxworld.exe
into the "Specify An Application" box.
==========================================================================
Although you may own this disk, you do not own the programs recorded on
it. Many of the programs on this disc are shareware, and they may require
separate payment to the author of the program for continued use. You are
free to try shareware programs for a limited amount of time. If you are
satisfied, and want to continue to use the program, you are expected to
register the program by sending a specified amount of money directly to
the author of the program. In many cases the author will send you the
most up to date version of the program and a printed manual. Please check
individual files for conditions.
