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-arc the WORLD.ARC file first by typing:
PKXARC WORLD.ARC
(PKXARC is a shareware ARCing/de-ARCing 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-ARCing by hand. SWINST.BAT assumes
you have the program PKXARC in your path.
Happy trails!
