WinView and View
To make browsing the disc easier, we have included the program WinView

CD, view documentation and uncompress/install the program(s) you want
onto your hard disk.

This disk contains many shareware programs and images. Shareware can
be considered to be a sort of try before you buy system where you are
expected to pay the program author a registration fee if you find the
program or image useful. You will find details of registration
included in the document/text files provided with each program.
