- ----------- UNPACKING "THE INTERNET MPEG CD-ROM" --------------
-
- To read "The Internet MPEG CD-Rom" you need:
-
- - A CD-ROM-drive capable of reading and mounting a
- ISO-9660-conform CD-filesystem.
-
- The files on the CD itself are following the MS-DOS 5.0
- naming convention (meaning a maximum of 8.3 letters, no
- special characters, except the dash and full-stop).
-
- The files are usally NOT compressed or archived, with the
- following exceptions:
-
- - Files that were archived with the famous PKZIP (.ZIP-files)
- AND had an archive-header were not extracted to have the
- header still included. To extract those file under DOS, use
- the PKZ204G.EXE-utility in the BIN/DOS-directory of this CD.
- Just copy this file to your local drive and runit, it will
- extract itself and show you information about how to use it.
-
- To extract .ZIP files under Unix-like systems, use UNZIP-50.
- It can be found in the BIN/UNIX-directory, and has to be un'tar'ed
- and compiled. Its quite self-explaining.
-
- - Files that were archived with the famous LHA (.LZH-or.LHA-files)
- AND created non-MSDOS-filename were not extracted to keep these
- filename. To extract those file under DOS, use the LHA213.EXE-
- utility in the BIN/DOS-directory of this CD. Just copy this file
- to your local drive and runit, it will extract itself and show you
- information about how to use it.
-
- To extract LHA files under Unix-like systems, use LHA.
- It can be found in the BIN/UNIX-directory, and has to be un'tar'ed
- and compiled. Its quite self-explaining.
-
- - Files intented to be read on Unix-like systems only, like
- SunOS, Solaris, Ultrix and NeXTStep are usally archived with
- the Unix-typical program TAR to keep the original filenames.
- A typical command to extract a tar-file looks like
-
- tar -x -v -f {file}
-
- TAR is also available for DOS, use GTAR. It's included
- in the BIN/DOS/GTAK100-directory of this CD.
-
- - Files intended to be used on a MacIntosh are usally
- compressed with a program called 'binhex'. Those files
- have the ending '.hqx'. Unpack with 'binhex' most the
- files are "Self-Extracting-Archives' (ending .sea), but
- you have to check this out yourself, because of the DOS
- naming convention, we could not keep the original filenames.
-
-
-
- Some executables were compiled with Gnu's GCC 2.4.1-5 for DOS. In order
- to run them, you should copy the executable GO32.EXE out of the BIN-
- directory in one of your PATH-directories.
- To do a complete installation of the Gnu-environment refer to the
- DISPLAY-utility (int the UTIL/DOS/DISP183-directory), it is a very
- useful program anyway.
-
- Please read the Gnu-Public-License LICENSE.GNU carefully before using
- any tools !
-
- Please read the file RIGHTS.TXT, if you are a systemadministrator or
- want to copy anything from this CD-Rom.

- Enjoy MPEG, Phade
