This help file just sets out a few simple instructions
for use with the disk. Everything about the program is pretty much self
evident, but there are a few small matters that will enable you do use it
more efficently. Also please have patience with some of the complete episode
guides "Text Files" as they are rather large, and require a bit to load.
IMPORTANT: If you load up a text file for a certain series you will notice
that there is no text printing tool. All you have to do if you require a
hard copy of the file is to go to the CLI or SHELL window and type the
following. If for instance you were going to print out the guide for
THUNDERBIRDS, you would type this, copy thunderbirds to prt:
which will print the file to your printer. Also remember that if a file
has a space in it such as THE PRISONER, you must enclose the file in quotes
such as, "THE PRISONER". REMEMBER THOUGH THAT ALL THESE FILES ARE ON THE
CTV DATA DISK.
The text files that you need for printing on the disk are the following:
THE TWILIGHT ZONE
THE SAINT
THE MAN FROM UNCLE
THUNDERBIRDS
THE PRISONER
THE PERSUADERS
Just type the relevant name to print it out, not forgeting the quotes for
the files with spaces.
1. Whenever the mouse pointer enters a gadget that has some function or
other, the pointer arrow changes slightly to indicate that this gadget
if clicked on will take you to another part of the program that you
desire. When not changing, then that particular gadget has no function.
2. When you access a text file of your choice of your particular program,
the text reader comes into veiw. The only gadgets you will need in this
are the following: 1. In the left bottom corner are the ARROW gadgets,
these scroll your text in the corresponding directions to the arrows.
2. A quicker way to scrol the text is with the black slide bar on the far
right hand side of the screen, just click, hold and drag.
The rest of the program is simple: just click on your relevent button and
it will do what it says; Load a complete episode guide.
Load a star info.file
Return to main menu, so you can choose again.
While some of the above may sound obvious, that's exactly how i like it,
simple and straight to the point.
If there's one thing ive found annoying with Public Domain programs, it's
never having enough instrutions on how the program works. You buy the disk
but don't know how to use it.
----------------------------------------------------
CULT TV VOLUME I is still availiable and contains
the following series: VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.
LOST IN SPACE.
TIME TUNNEL.
LAND OF THE GIANTS.

As stated above CULT TV is Public Domain,
all i ask, if you like and enjoy the program,
is to send me a letter or postcard, so i can
get some idea how far its going. And also if
you have any ideas, or favourite series for
future issues, contact the following address.
Thanks.
