█ PINNACLE SOFTWARE'S MAXI CIOLLECTION █
█████████████████████████████████████████
Pinnacle Software, the distributor of LOVEFIRE, THE VARITALE
AUTHORING SYSTEM and a variety of shareware programs has just
come out with a new "Maxi" collection of their programs. When
they say "Maxi," they aren't kidding. The programs are
distributed on two 1.44MB disks, and the programs are compressed.
You, therefore, need both a 1.44MB disk drive and a hard drive
with a 2.65MB of space to hold the COMPRESSED files. Double that
space would be needed if you decompress all of the programs.
Only a few of the programs are related to electronic
publishing. Most are for Bulletin Board System users. However,
there is a little bit for everyone.
Here is what is available:
1) The See Utilities
Programs to:
--Browse & print files
--Set up a DOS shell

file. For decompression instructions, see the SEE.DOC file.
