This disk has been carefully tested but I accept no responsibility for any losses or damage from the use of the disk or any of its enclosed programs.
PURPOSE
-------
These compilations of public domain software are put together with the main purpose of completely filling a whole disk with useful and enjoyable software, without the frills. (Mainly because I am sick of receiving PD disks with only 10% of available space used).
USE
---
All of the programs on this disk are stored within their own drawers. Once inside the drawers there is often an instruction document accompanying the main program (if there isn't - you don't need one!). To get the instructions to work try double clicking on it, if this doesn't work run it through your favourite word processor. Alternatively, you can read it through one of the file readers located in the "C" drawer (double click on MMPP, then click on "OK" in the requester, all you have to do then is choose your instruction file through the file requester).

----
A screen saver which prevents damage to screens (would you believe?). Read the Pyro.doc in a word processor or use MMPP in the C drawer. To run the program double click and then enter a number in the requester after "Pyro ". This number is the time period (in seconds) for inactivity before the screen goes blank and starts displaying little fireworks. If, after moving the mouse & pressing keys, the black screen remains - use the mouse & begin to drag the top of the screen down - Pyro promptly disappears.
C DRAWER
--------
The C drawer contains various file readers for instructions to various programs.
COMPATIBILITY
-------------
All of the programs are plus compatible, however I can not be sure about 1200's.
