LANGUAGES AROUND THE WORLD
=============================
THANK YOU FOR BUYING THIS CD-ROM.
This CD-ROM will give you a "total" cultural experience. You
will not only learn new languages, but also the demographical
and cultural backgrounds of each nation. You will learn
new languages in a variety of ways: through games, puzzles,
tutorials, databases, and more.
This CD-ROM contains over 6,600 files or 250Mb of information.
This is equivalent to quarter million pages of double-spaced
typewritten pages. Million of trees has been saved because
of CD-ROM technology.
The CW viewer on this CD is custom-written for this CD-ROM.
It is easy to use and powerful.
The CW viewer has "see-thr'" capability to view the inside
contents of ZIP files without unzipping them.
The CW viewer has been tested under WINDOWS '95 and run fine.
Depends on your system, you may need at least 600K RAM to run
the language viewer under the main menu. If you get "insufficient
memory" message, simply get out of Windows and the main menu.
Then type: LANG <ENTER>
To run the viewer directly from Windows. See TROUBLE-SHOOTING
section for more help if you still have problems.
No installation is needed if you use our Windows-based Language
viewer. It also does not install any icon or program group in your
Windows desktop either. Most people like this low profile feature.
Language viewer lets you see any text file (.DOC, .TXT, or .ASC)
and ZIP file. You lets you unzip file to the directory of your
choice. You may not be able to see some foreign language if
you do not have the foreign language version of the operating
system installed in your computer.
To start browsing, simply click on the LANGUAGE directory which
will give you a long list of language subdirectories. Click
on the ones that you want to examine. Click on any text or
document file for descriptions of the programs. A good place
to start is to click on the .DIZ file if available. .DIZ
file lists a concise description of the program. Click on
any .EXE or .BAT file twice will test run the program.
Click on any .ZIP file will let you "see" inside the content
of the compressed file. You can also unzip the ZIP file to
your hard drive by clicking on the copy to hard disk button.
Most games included in this CD-ROM work better with a sound
card. If you don't have one and sound does not come out
from your PC speaker, copy the game to your hard disk; then
type: ATTRIB *.* -r < ENTER >
Run and file that has names like SETUP, INSTALL, or CONFIG
to change the system options like sound devices. Some
programs have selections in the main menu for changing sound
devices. Switch the sound option to PC SPEAKER for sound
output.
===================
