- Many interesting things pertaining to the PCjr are and will be in this file
- area. However, many of you out there may have some info that I am unaware
- of. If so, please leave a message and I will put it here. Or even better
- would be for you to upload a text file with the info in it. I'm always on
- the lookout for new stuff, so if you know of any programs, fixes, patches
- or whatever, please send them to me so other people can use them.
-
- Some of the files in this area can be viewed while online by using the Type
- command. The only files you cannot view are the ones with a .ZIP extension.
- These are programs or other information files especially for the PCjr that
- must be downloaded to your computer and then unZIPed with the PKUNZIP program
- which is available in the New User file area.
