Dear CD-ROM user:
Welcome to the wonderful world of CD-ROM storage. In the near
future this will become one of the most popular formats for
storing data than any other format.
This CD-ROM disk contains data stored in the same manner as
your hard drive. Categories are broken up into subdirectories
and contain numerous programs which have been compressed in
order to keep them separate.
There is a total of 750 Megabytes of great shareware on this
disk. Once compressed it takes up only 350 megabytes of
storage space.
To use a paticular program simply browse through the menu
system and locate which subdirectory it is filed in. Then go
into that subdirectory by changing directories. ( CD\NAME )
The best way to decompress a file is with the PKUNZIP.EXE
utility that is present in each subdirectory. You may also
want to decompress the files to a disk first and then install
them on your hard disk. The reason for this is that many of
the programs have to be installed from floppy.
Some programs require more than one floppy disk. This is in-
dicated by a number following the program name. Such as:
NAME1.ZIP, NAME2.ZIP
Simply extract the files to two floppy disks in the following
manner:
First: Have two formatted blank floppy disks ready.
Second: Extract files to disk 1 using PKUNZIP NAME1.ZIP A:
Third: Extract files to disk 2 using PKUNZIP NAME2.ZIP A:
The program can now be installed to the Hard Disk.
