THANK YOU FOR BUYING THIS CD-ROM.
This CD-ROM includes the latest JAVA developer's kit and related
programs and codes. They represent the latest in Web page design.
It contains over 200MB and 7,000 files. This CD-ROM features
over 100 applets for you to learn from the masters.
JAVA and HotJava only run from Windows' 95 and Windows NT 3.5
or higher. It also supports Solaris. You also need a Java-aware
web browser like Netscape 2.0 or higher. Many documentation on
this CD-ROM are in hypertext format requiring a web browser. Please
read the HTM files in the JDK sub-directory for information
on how to start Java.
Eventually Java will be platform independent and network aware.
It supports 3D and sound. Major programming house and operating
system have already shown support for JAVA.
Learn from masters by examining their source codes. You may
even incorporate the codes into your own programs

They are easy to use and powerful.
The CW File Wizard program viewer and launcher has been tested
under WINDOWS '95 and run fine.
Our viewer can "see thr'" these zip files and even install
them to any drive specified. The file viewer has also been
updated to automatically display any text file on the default
directory.
Depends on your system, you may need at least 600K RAM to run
the CW program viewer under the main menu. If you get "insufficient
memory" message, simply get out of Windows and the main menu.
Then type: JAVA <ENTER>
To run the viewer directly from Windows. See TROUBLE-SHOOTING
section for more help if you still have problems.
No installation is needed if you use our Windows-based CW program
viewer. It also does not install any icon or program group in your
Windows desktop either. Most people like this low profile feature.
The CW program viewer lets you see any text file (.DOC, .TXT,
or .ASC) and ZIP file. It lets you unzip file to the directory
of your choice.
To start browsing, simply click on any directory which may
give you a long list of subdirectories. Click on the ones that
you want to examine. Click on any text or document file for
descriptions of the programs. A good place to start is to click
on the .DIZ file if available. .DIZ file lists a concise
description of the program. Click on any .EXE or .BAT file twice
will test run the program. Click on any .ZIP file will let you
"see" inside the content of the compressed file. You can also
unzip the ZIP file to your hard drive by clicking on the copy to
hard disk button.
Some programs may not run your its files has an "R" attribute.
ALL files on CD-ROM is flagged "R" to prevent your PC from
writing on the CD-ROM. This "R" attribute will stay with the
file even though you copy the file into your hard disk.

HOW TO USE CW FILE WIZARD
================================
We have included a self-running tutorial demonstrating the
operation of CW File Wizard.
The following steps for operating the CW File Wizard are
suggestions only. You can develop your own ways.
We have included two versions of CW File Wizard: the regular
version and the automatic version. The regular version is
totally controlled by the user in regard to which file to
look at. The auto version automatically display any text
file in the directory without your input.
After loading CW File Wizard, Click on any sub-directory,
you may see another list of sub-directories. Click on any
one of the directory will show you another list of sub-directories
or a list of file names.
To get an idea of the contents of the program, search for
files with the following extensions:
FILENAME.TXT
FILENAME.DOC
FILENAME.MAN
FILE.DIZ (the first one to "click" if available)
README.DOC
README.1ST
READ.ME
MANUAL.DOC
MANUAL.TXT
You should get information on how to use or launch the program.
CW File Wizard lets you print out any text file on the screen.
You may also click on the "FULL SCREEN VIEW" button if you want
to read the text file in page-mode.
Files with .WRI (Windows Write files) and .HLP (WINHELP file format)
will automatically activate Windows WRITE or WINHELP to let you
see the contents of the files.
Microsoft Word 6.0 files also have .DOC extension. Some files are
in WORD format. If you use CW File Wizard to see any .DOC file and
see nothing, that file must be a WORD file. You need Microsoft Word
or WORD Viewer to see these files. A copy of Microsoft WORD runtime
is in the WORDVIEW directory, simply double-click on the WORDVIEW.EXE to
run this viewer directly from CD-ROM, no installation is needed.
To launch or test-run a program, look for files with the
following extensions and double-click the file.
FILENAME.BAT (batch file)
FILENAME.EXE (executable files)
FILENAME.COM (compiled file, executable)
Some programs, especially the ones that write temporary files,
scores, or records, will not run from the CD-ROM (read-only media).
Your computer may freeze, hangs, or gives out error messages
like "path not found" or "I/O errors". Simply copy programs to
your hard disk and re-run program. Refer to TROUBLE-SHOOTING
section if you have more questions.
To look at the contents of a ZIP file (compressed file), simply
click on it and a Windows of its file list pops up. You can
view any text files with CW File Viewer. But you cannot
launch any programs since they have not yet been decompressed.
You can copy the directory to hard disk and launch program
from there.
To switch to different directory, simply click on any directory
that you want to see on the directory tree. Then click on
any files that you want to see or launch.
COMMAND SUMMARY FOR CW FILE WIZARD

Single-click any directory to get inside next level of directory
or inside the subdirectory.

will display the contents of the file.

that particular program.
=====================
POSTSCRIPT FILES
=====================
Files with .PS extensions are postscript files requiring a postscript
