- This file describes ancillary information, bug fixes, and enhancements that
- do not appear in other FTP Software documentation.
-
- To successfully run Reference Desk, the PC/TCP online documentation system,
- we recommend the following system configurations.
-
- Hardware Requirements
- ---------------------
- - An 80386SX 16MHz processor
- - 10 MB hard-disk space if you install all titles on your PC
- - At least 2MB RAM
- - Microsoft compatible mouse
- - 4-bit VGA graphics adapter with color VGA monitor
- - Optional. MPC-compatible CD ROM
-
- Software Requirements
- ---------------------
- - Microsoft Windows version 3.1 or later (enhanced mode)
- - MS DOS version 3.30 or later
-
-
- System Fonts
- ------------
- Reference Desk online books use three Windows True Type fonts:
-
- - Arial (Normal, Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic)
- - Courier New (Normal, Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic)
- - Times New Roman (Normal, Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic)
-
- By default, these fonts reside in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory with the
- file extension .FOT.
-
- If one or more of these fonts are missing from your system, install them
- from the Microsoft Windows 3.1 distribution media using the Fonts dialog
- in the Control Panel. Consult the Microsoft Windows documentation and/or
- the Control Panel's online helpfor specific instructions.
-
- If you choose not to install the necessary fonts, Windows substitutes
- available fonts. While Reference Desk does run without the correct fonts,
- the appearance of the online books may be unsatisfactory.
-
- Search Feature
- --------------
- The MicroSoft Multimedia Viewer search capability operates on one book at
- a time. It does not search across multiple titles. Similarly, the
- Index feature lists words from the index of the current book only.
- Select and open a book before you use Search or Index.
