- A few quick notes from the editor/programmer
- --------------------------------------------
-
-
- This disk contains two programs that can be run by clicking on their
- icons; the main program (called PROGRAM - clever, eh? (NO??)) :-) can also
- be run by booting the disk.
-
- There are also two "Read..." files (this is one of them!) which it should
- be possible to read by clicking their icons on almost any system.
-
- The GuideUs file (which contains more info that you could possibly want
- about the group, its members and their first publication) is a bit more
- tricky. As far as I have been able to figure out, the program that shows it
- (PPGuide) requires at least two different libraries and various assignments
- to run, and even then it probably wouldn't run on older systems anyway! To
- make things a bit simpler for myself (and harder for you) :-( I have just
- included the file and the program on the disk, and leave it to your system
- to figure out the rest.
-
- A little note on file names: Files like this are usually called ReadMe,
- but I'm not so crazy about the idea of files talking to me, so I call them
- ReadThis instead. And the GuideUs file is supposed to be "guide'd" rather
- than "read", and since it's about all of us I call it just that...
-
- As it says in GuideUs (under "What is this?"), the main program is an in-
- tro/slideshow that requires the data disk "CreAm:" to run (properly). The
- proper way to run it is with one disk in each drive (and if you have a
- newer machine with operating system 2 or higher it doesn't matter which
- disk is in which drive even when you boot with them!), but if you have only
- one drive you can start with this one and switch disks during the intro -
- this disk is only accessed to start the program, so you only need to change
- them once. (Loading from disk takes about half a minute on my system, and
- after the screen goes black you have fifty seconds to swap disks.)
