- THE WORLD DIGITIZED:
-
- What you have here is a copy of the "The World Digitized",
- in a format that is easy to unpack and view with a simple viewing
- utility called SWIVEL. Therefore, the normal instructions for
- installing The World Digitized do not apply to this copy. If you
- have not already done so, un-zip the WORLD.ZIP file first by typing:
-
- PKXUNZIP WORLD.ZIP
-
- (PKUNZIP is a shareware ZIPing/de-ZIPing program, and is required
- to extract this database.) If you have a hard disk (with about 3
- megabytes free), you may then run the batch file SWINST.BAT to install
- SWIVEL and the data for The World Digitized. The result will be the
- same as if you had followed the original instructions for installing
- and unpacking The World Digitized to create the ASCII .MP1 version of
- the data files.
-
- If you don't have a hard disk (or enough space free), you can
- modify SWINST.BAT or do the de-ZIPing by hand. SWINST.BAT assumes
- you have the program PKXARC in your path. This must be edited to
- use PKZUNIP.
-
- Happy trails!
