Welcome to Software of the Month Club!
Look below for information on the all new Software Resarch Institute
section of the Software of the Month Club CD-ROM.
TROUBLE-SHOOTING
If you encounter memory problems while launching programs,
quitting QuikMenu may solve your problem. This is especially true when
trying to launch game programs.
Some programs will try to write back to the CD-ROM. Because the CD-ROM is
READ ONLY, you may have to copy the program to your local hard disk prior to
use.
CD-ROM DIRECTORY STRUCTURE
The programs on this CD-ROM were grouped into directories by SIG (Special
Interest Group). Under each SIG directory you will find a sub-directory
for each program.
BONUS <DIR> <---- BONUS SOFTWARE
BUS <DIR> <---- BUSINESS SIG
DTP <DIR> <---- DESKTOP PUBLISHING SIG
GAMES <DIR> <---- GAMES SIG
GI <DIR> <---- GENERAL INTEREST SIG
KIDS <DIR> <---- KIDS SIG
MMEDIA <DIR> <---- MULTIMEDIA SECTION
OS2 <DIR> <---- OS/2 SIG
SRI <DIR> <---- SOFTWARE RESEARCH INSTITUTE
UTILITY <DIR> <---- UTILITIES FOR VARIOUS SIG'S/YOU MAY FIND DUPLICATES
WIN <DIR> <---- WINDOWS SIG
GETTING PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS & DOCUMENTATION
The PROGRAM GUIDE button in each SIG contains a detailed description of
the programs. Please read the PROGRAM GUIDE for any special instructions
or requirements. Press the MASTER PROGRAM GUIDE button to get a list of
all program descriptions on this disc.
DOCUMENT/TEXT INDEX is an easy way to locate and view document files.
Clicking on either the DOCUMENT or TEXT INDEX button will display a list of
*.DOC/*.TXT files and their paths. Look through the list for the file you
want to view and click it once.
SOFTWARE RESARCH INSTITUTE
Each Software of the Month Club CD-ROM will NOW include a selection of
program cateogies from our popular SRI list. In addition to the normal
selection of software from our Games, General Interest, Kids, OS/2 and
Windows clubs you will now recieve programs from the SRI. What this means
is that you can be assured that when you use a program from the SRI you know
that it is the highest quality. Why? Because the SRI is a list of our
must popular customer selected software. Below is a list of topics covered
in this months issue.
This month we have selected the following SRI topics:
GAMES - CASINO/WORD
GENERAL INTEREST - GRAPHICS & DTP/RELATIONAL DATABASE/SPREADSHEET
KIDS - GRAPHICS/TESTING & TEACHER
WINDOWS - GRAPHICS & DTP/ICONS/FONTS
Next month look for:
GAMES - SIMULATION/SPORTS
GENERAL INTEREST - SCIENCE/UTILITIES/WORD PROCESSINGS/MAIL MANAGEMENT
