- Suitable for all ages, semi educational.
- THIS DISK is not Freeware, it is Share ware, a try before you buy ideal
- which relies on the honesty of the user to pay a registration fee to

-
- TROUBLE SHOOTING ... if you have NO mouse on screen you can use
- TAB/ENTER. Pressing Tab moves you to each button or window in
- sequence. A fine hard to see dotted line will surround each item when
- Tab activates it. When this happens press enter. The button will then
- turn a page, activate sound and/or text, or allow you to scroll text
- in a window.
- If you do not have Sound Blaster or a compatible sound card then you
- may not get sound, for which reason 'sounds' have been kept to a minimum.
- Also sound uses a lot of memory and not everyone has 'lots of available'
- hard disk space.
- * I have included splay.exe on the disk which may help with your sound
- problems. Copy it into the same directory (AUSSYWHO or whatever).. O.K.
- !!!!!!!!!!!! ===============!!!!!!!!!!!!

- created and into which you de-archived the data from the disk you have
- purchased. Simply type WHO at the C:>\AUSSYWHO prompt. (provided you
- called your new directory AUSSYWHO).

- JUST COMPLETED 16/12/95...Australian Tales, myths & legends Volume 2.
- I have a collection of over 50 of them to share with you. These stories are
- not just fairy stories. They are also in many ways a history of an ancient
- land and the aboriginal inhabitants who never developed a written language
- of any type and who never built a temple or a city or a permanent dwelling.
- Consequently all 'history' until the coming of the 'white' settlers was by
- means of stories, learned and passed to younger generations for thousands
- of years.
