- Welcome to PCW Interactive!
-
- First we must apologise that the floppy cover disk has not been
- incorporeated on the CD-Rom this month. Due to early Christmas
- deadlines, we have had to prepare the January issue much sooner
- than usual, and the cover disk had not been finished when this
- CD-Rom was duplicated - but it will appear on the next issue.
- However, you may wish to check out the following directories on
- this disc, which contain the software planned to appear on this
- months floppy disk (chances are they WILL be the cover disk) :
-
-
- \DTA - Dave's Targa Animator.
-
- \LOWLEVEL - This month's 'Low Level' listings.
-
- \POLYRAY - The ENTIRE Polyray suite.
- (only the new files will be on the floppy).
-
- \ULTIMOD - Probably the best Windows Mod music file player,
- along with three great Mod files.
-
-
- Plus we have also included (just on the CD-Rom) the following:
-
-
- \POLYMORE - 17 new Polyray example GIFs and associated .PI files,
- for use with Polyray.
-
-
- At the last minute we also decided to include Oakley Data Services'
- Smart Font program in the following directory:
-
-
- \FONTS - 120 free TrueType fonts.
-
-
- With it you can view all your installed fonts at a glance.
- To install it in Windows, copy the files: FILE_ID.DIZ, SMARTFON.EXE
- and SMARTFON.HLP to a suitable directory on your hard disk. Or you
- can run the program directly from the CD. Please register this
- program if you continue to use it.

- Using PCW Interactive
-
- To use PCW Interactive all you need to do is finish a quick and simple
- setup procedure and an icon will then be created on your Program
- Manager Desktop, in a new group called "Personal Computer World".
- No files will be copied across by the installer unless you request
- the fast version of the program. When you run PCWI, you will be
- given the opportunity to install selected drivers and other files
- of your choice onto your PC.
- Once the Program Manager Group and icon have been created You can
- then run PCW Interactive by double clicking on the icon. If you
- wish you can drag and drop the icon into another group of your
- choosing and then erase the PCWI group. Note that if you DO keep
- a copy of the icon on your desktop you can save time in future as
- you will be able to use it to start any PCWI disc from issue 2
- onwards, without needing to use the installer again.
- If you are reading this from inside the CD-Rom installer then Double
- click on the top-left close box to return to the setup program.
- Otherwise, double click the close box anyway and, to install PCWI,
- run the file SETUP.EXE (in this directory), using the Windows File
- Manager or |File|Run| from Program Manager.
- We hope you enjoy this issue of PCW Interactive...
