- Welcome to The Hacker Chronicles Volume II
- (The first underground CD ever produced)
-
- Once again unto the breech dear friends.... We have attempted to
- create a compilation of material that is both educational and informative
- to the computer and telecommunications enthusiast and professional alike.
-
- In Volume II we have tried to offer a sense of the environment
- of being on an underground bbs in addition to providing the material.
- This has been done via several Slide Shows both audio and video.
- there are a half a dozen slide shows each running 45-60 min or more.
-
- Unlike Volume One which contained a single GIANT directory file of
- all areas and subjects, Volume Two has been broken down by subject via
- the master index file (from which you loaded this document). We hope this
- method is found to be more pleasing to the senses. This type of format
- came about by a complete rewrite of the front end software (CDV) by
- Mr. Calvin Drennen contracted by P-80 Systems. In addition, a number of
- bells and whistles have been added to the software. Along with maintaining
- the ability to do searches and print, we have added the ability to not only
- view the contents of a .ZIP (TM) file but to actually read ASCII documents
- from within the .ZIP file. The ability to tag files for copying has also
- been added.
-
- Since Volume II contains such a wide array of both sound and graphic
- selections and slide shows this raises the possibilities for occasional
- lockups since there is such a wide variety of sound cards in use today,
- each having slight differences in functionality and configuration.
- We have designed Volume II to utilize the standard defaults when and where
- available. This still does not guarantee success. If you have any problems
- try loading by method 2 (loading front end software with no sound or
- special fonts loaded at startup time. This will also serve to reduce
- memory overhead.
-
- We hope you find viewing the Hacker Chronicles to be as rewarding as
- we did in producing it. And... Thank You for your purchase.
