- Arsenal Computer CD-ROM Publishers - 3721 SW Plaza Drive, Topeka KS 66609-2002
-
- Are you tired of having to learn a new access program with each and every
- new shareware CD-ROM that you buy? Are you tired of finding that your system
- argues with the access program built into the shareware CD-ROM that you just
- purchased? Do you, as a SysOp, ever get tired of having to correct someone
- else's bizarre idea of what a file list should look like so that it can work
- on your system?
-
- Well, we are tired too, and the Arsenal Browser program was designed to
- eliminate problems one and two. Problem #3, we licked by putting more BBS
- support on our discs than any other disc we have ever seen... (smile!)
-
- █████ The Arsenal Browser, what is it?
-
- The Arsenal Browser is designed as a lean file-finding machine. The design
- specifications called for it to run in as little memory as possible, and
- to run straight from the CD-ROM or from a hard drive. Of course, the only
- way you are going to get it to run from the CD-ROM is to have it on an
- Arsenal CD-ROM... (smile!) All of the commands are accessable with the
- single hit of the F1 key. There aren't a lot... there's a search feature,
- a view feature, a copy feature, and an archive extraction feature.
- Basically, that's what you need when you are poking through a shareware
- CD-ROM looking for something useful. There are no bells or whistles, no
- soundblaster music, no cute GUI screens, and only a limited amount of mouse
- support. It's just a good, clean program that runs under DOS, or in a DOS
- window in Windows or OS/2. It's been sucessfully ran under Win 3.1x,
- Windows 95 and OS/2 Warp to my knowledge. Since it's actually a fairly
- basic program, it shouldn't have any trouble on any machine that can run
- DOS based programs.
-
- █████ How do I use it?
-
- Well, just unzip the contents into a sub-directory of your choice. Then,
- take a look at the CD-ROM that you wish to use it on. Look for the "file
- listings" in the same directories as the files are in. If there are
- file listings there, note the name(s). If the file listings are called
- FILES.BBS, then you can literally use the same config file that comes in
- this archive. If it has a different name, then edit the ARSENAL.CFG file
- to suit this name. If there are NO file listings in there, you can still
- use it, just don't expect to see any descriptions in the right hand box...
- (smile!)
-
- We have premade config files for several popular (and some not-so-popular)
- CD-ROMs available on our BBS for download on the first call. If you can't
- config it yourself to your needs, call us and see if we have already done
- that for you. The BBS rollover line is (913) 234-9395, and all lines are
- v.34 28.8k modems for a fast transfer.
-
- Once the ARSENAL.CFG file is up-to-date, then you simply type in the
- following from the directory where you put the Browser files:
-
- ARSENAL D
-
- This is assuming that D: is your CD-ROM drive. If it's E:, then put E there
- instead of the D.. I think that you probably can catch the clue here.. (grin!)
-
- That's it! Sit back and enjoy the show! The program has been written to
- make it as easy as possible to simply jump in. Therefor, I'm not going to
- waste a bunch of time writing docs that won't be necessary anyway. Just
- dive in there and try it! (grin!)
-
