- Well, now that you have the WILDCAT! GOLD CD-ROM, you will need
- to know just how to use it to it's fullest potential. Before I go
- any further, I would like to ask that if you are installing
- WILDCAT!: The Test-Drive, PLEASE PRINT WILDCAT.DOC. This file can
- be found in the WCGOLD directory of the CD-ROM, or by pressing ALT-D
- for printing documentation.

- When you look on this disc, you will see a lot of files. Most
- of them are shareware, public domain, or misc. files. However,
- there are files that are essential to the operation of this CD-ROM
- and some of the files that are used. WCINSTAL.EXE, the main program
- on this disc, has several that are required for it's operation.
- These files are located in the WCGOLD directory.
-
- \WCINSTAL.EXE....................Print Docs, Copy Files, and Print Docs.
-
- * \WCGOLD\WCGOLD.ZIP.............The WILDCAT! TEST-DRIVE in ZIP format.
- * \WCGOLD\WCINSTAL.DOC.............This text file.
- * \WCGOLD\WILDCAT.DOC............The Wildcat! TEST-DRIVE Documentations.
- * \WCGOLD\REGISTER.ME............Simple text file to register WCGOLD.
- * \WCGOLD\WCGOLD.DIR.............THE LIST! A complete list your files.
-
- X \WCGOLD\AUTHOR.DAT.............About the Authors text file.
- X \WCGOLD\THANKS.DAT.............Thank you to all who helped.
- X \WCGOLD\WILDCAT.DAT............Mustang Software and Wildcat! BBS.
- X \WCGOLD\SHARE.DAT..............The Shareware Concept, Who, What, Why.
- X \WCGOLD\CDROM.DAT..............THE CD-ROM, On the leading edge.
-
- * These are the files that will directly relate to you, the user.
- X These files are used only by WCGOLD.EXE as Data Files.
-
- In addition to these files, we have included a file listing for
- every directory in each directory. The file will be of the same
- name as the directory, and contain a listing of all the files in
- that directory, along with their size, date, description, and an
- area number used by the WCGOLD30.EXE and WCGOLDTD.EXE conversion
- programs. Along with being in each directory, these files will all
- be located in one central directory as well, \DIR. Here, all the
- file listings will be available, and the names will relate to the
- directory in which the files are located.
-
- Last of all, there are approx. 5000 files available on this
- disc. All of which are the ' Latest and Greatest ' that we could
- find. These files were collected directly from authors, users, our
- BBS and other BBS's around the world. They range from animations to
- word processing. As small as 203 bytes to 1.02 MB for a single
- file. A little something for everyone.

- Ok, now that we are ready to begin, lets get going with the
- programs at hand. WCGOLD.EXE, the Copy, View, Print, and Install
- portion of Wildcat! Gold. This is where you will be doing your
- basic installations and copying of files off of the disc. In order
- to anything, we must first start at the beginning and teach you the
- basic keystrokes to get you around WGCOLD.EXE. ( Note: this program has
- full mouse support for any Microsoft compatible mouse.)
-
-
- F10, HOME : Both of these keys will take you to the main menu. You
- also select one of the COLORED letters with an ALT key to
- get you to the main menu.
-
- ESC : Closes any open window. If you are in the LIST/COPY area, the
- ESC key will take you back to the main menu and replace the status
- line on the bottom.
-
- ALT-Z : ZOOM any open window. This key will MAXIMIZE or MINIMIZE any
- open window that you have selected.
-
- ALT-A : ABOUT Menu:. Once you are in the ABOUT MENU, you can either
- select the VIEW file with either a function key or by pressing
- the highlighted letter. Each of these files contains a small
- text file for you to read.
-
- ALT-I : INSTALLATION Menu: The installation menu allows you to select
- either the WCGOLD Wildcat! Test-Drive version, or the WILDCAT!
- v3 database conversion utilities. It also will give you the
- option to print out a short registration file. This file will
- aid us in improving future releases of Wildcat! Gold.
-
- ALT-D : DOCUMENTATION Menu: This menu will allow you to print several
- of the text files found on this disc. First, and most important
- for all the sysops is the WILDCAT! docs. This is REQUIRED!!
- for use with WILDCAT! Test-Drive. It has all the information
- needed to set up your BBS. Nest, The WC30 Conversion Docs wiil
- explain the method to go about adding your CD-ROM to your
- WILDCAT! v3 database. Next, You can print out this document to
- aid you in the use of WCGOLD.EXE. And last of all, the complete
- file base listing is in one file, sorted by subject, sorted by
- name to aid you in your search for any file.
-
- ALT-L : LIST/COPY Menu: When you select this menu option, you are
- then taken to an area selection menu. After selecting the
- area of choice, you will be transfered to that directory and
- shown a listing of all the files available there. You can
- scroll up and down reading about the files. If you see a file
- of interest to you, you can copy it with the ALT-C command. Enter
- the FILENAME and the DESTINATION, and you are all set.

-
- That about wraps up the basics of the WCGOLD.EXE commands. I wish I
- could explain them better, but you know what they say: ' PROGRAMMERS
- ARE TERRIBLE WRITERS.' I'll be the first to admit it, I have never
- seen a programmer write a good manual. Anyways, That should be
- enough to navigate you through the WCGOLD INSTALL. GOOD LUCK and
- HAPPY COMPUTING!
