echo █ In order to run the program from the DOS prompt, follow the
echo █ instructions listed in the documentation. If there is no
echo █ documentation, type DIR at the DOS prompt. Any files that
echo █ are listed with ".EXE", ".COM" or ".BAT" can be executed.
echo █ If the program file ends in ".BAS", then it will require
echo █ the use of a BASIC interpreter (such as BASICA or GW-BASIC)
echo █ unless the program has included the executable form also.
echo █ Consult your BASIC manual for instructions on how to run
echo █ uncompiled BASIC programs. Renaissance Software has BASIC
echo █ interpreters (both BASICA and GW-BASIC shareware equivalents).
echo █ If you would like one, please contact us.

echo █ If you run across a file with the filename ending in ".ZIP" or
echo █ ".ARC", then you will have to run an unarchiving program to
echo █ be able to use these. Programs like PKUNZIP.EXE will decompress
echo █ a ".ZIP" file while you will have to use PKXARC.COM in order to
echo █ decompress an "archived" file. Just copy the compressed file to
echo █ your harddrive or blank floppy and type PKUNZIP "filename" or
echo █ PKXARC "filename". It should expand properly. NOTE: There
echo █ be plenty of room on your harddrive or floppy in order for these
echo █ files to expand. A 150 kilobyte file can sometimes take up an
echo █ entire blank 360k floppy when expanded.
echo █
echo █ Due to the legal battle between PK-Ware and SEA Technologies,
echo █ Renaissance Software will no longer use any type of archiving
echo █ programs from SEA. We will continue to totally support Phil
echo █ Katz and PK-Ware, who has contributed much to the world of
echo █ user-supported software.
