- HISTORY: Since 1982 the Public Domain and Shareware Library (PDSL)
- has specialised in supplying the best in PD and shareware to
- thousands of customers world-wide. In 1992, for the first time we
- offered a major part of our library on the LIBRIS BRITANNIA CDROM.
- Although we cover all areas of interest with our program selection
- our specialist area has always been technical and scientific
- programs. Although there is a lot of space on a CDROM we still had to
- leave a lot off the LIBRIS BRITANNIA disk. For this reason we have
- split our library into two parts: Part 1: The Technical Volume (this
- disk) covering technical and scientific programming and part 2: Best
- Applications, covering other more general interest areas. These two
- parts together replace to original 1 disk version.
-
- CONTENT: This disk brings you the largest collection of scientific
- and technical public domain and shareware programs available for the
- PC anywhere.
-
- PROGRAM AGE: Although it is our general policy to bring you the
- latest possible versions of programs and just omit early programs,
- scientific and specialist applications tend not to go out of date as
- quickly or updated so often as more general applications. We
- have included on this disk a number of files which by our normal "age"
- criteria would normally have been omitted. However, these files
- either include source code which is still perfectly usable or
- adaptable for your own applications or programs which
- are unique in some way and which have never been updated by their
- authors. With this later class of programs you may occasionally have
- problems with later versions of DOS and may have to use the DOS
- LOADFIX and SET VER options. See your DOS manual for details on use
- of these.
-
- IMPORTANT:
-
- This package includes a book and this disk. The book gives
- descriptions and list of the disc contents and will help you find the
- items you are looking for. If you did not receive both items contact
- your dealer, PDSL, or Walnut Creek CDROM.
-
- This disk contains many shareware programs. Shareware can be
- considered to be a sort of try before you buy system where you are
- expected to pay the program author a registration fee if you find the
- program useful. You will find detail of registration included in the
- document/text files provided with each program.
