INSTALLATION
Installation Procedure
The Circuit Search database comes to you in two files (one a
PKZIPped file called CCTSxxxx (or CSDEMO if you decided to try
the mini version first) containing compressed data and executable
files, and one small initial README.1ST file).
The CCTSxxxx (or CSDEMO) file will have either a .ZIP exten-
sion [in which case PKUNZIP (which is generally readily available
from many sources) will unzip the CCTSxxxx (or CSDEMO) PKZIPped
file into the required executable and data files] or an .EXE
extension [in which case the CCTSxxxx (or CSDEMO) file is self-
extracting].
It is suggested that you place all Circuit Search files into
a single directory (CSEARCH, for example). This will avoid
confusion by keeping files related to the Circuit Search database
separate from other files on your hard disk. The full Circuit
Search database occupies in excess of 10MBytes on your hard disk,
so ensure that you have adequate free disk space.
When you wish to use the database, log into the appropriate
directory (CSEARCH, for example) and enter CSEARCH.
System Requirements
IBM PC (or compatible) running DOS V2.0 or higher
Hard disk with ~10MBytes or more free
*****************************************************************
INTRODUCTION
The Circuit Search database consists of a collection of
references to more than 15,000 papers and articles containing
schematics of practical electronic circuits. A source of over
350 English-language scientific and technical journals and maga-
zines provides a complete interdisciplinary reference source.
Circuit Search is particularly useful to designers including
engineers, scientists, educators and consultants. Circuitry with
applications ranging from agriculture to astronomy, medicine to
microcomputers, is referenced. Analog, digital, interface, RF
and other categories of electronics are covered in this reference
source.
Circuit Search's intent is to provide you with brief
references to a wide range of circuit applications, not large
abstracts relating to any specific field.
Of particular interest to the designer is the ability to
search for circuits based on semiconductor device types used.
Circuit Search updates its database on a semi-regular basis
(usually about semi-annually). Whether or not it has been updat-
ed will be evident from the file name of the "PKZIPped" files.
In addition, a photocopy (FAX or mail) service is provided
for registered users who need hard copy of articles from journals
(covered by the Copyright Clearance Center). Prices reflect
payments to the CCC plus overhead. Most articles qualify.
Circuit Search can save designers countless hours of design
time spent "re-inventing the wheel" or hunting through magazines
and libraries. As well, it provides a bibliographic source for
ideas in circuit design.
*****************************************************************
Note that the Circuit Search database may be used and/or distrib-
uted (NOT FOR PROFIT) by telecommunications means (e.g. on BBS's
and FTP sites), but a $45 REGISTRATION FEE (payable to CIRCUIT
SEARCH only) is requested from distributors and users who find
this database useful. Registration fees help defray costs and
help to ensure that the Circuit Search database will continue to
be updated and upgraded. Distribution means must ensure that all
complete files (including and only CS.DBF, CSA.DBF, CSEARCH.EXE,
CSI.DBF, CSJ.DBF, CSK.DBF, CSMANUAL, CSR.DBF, GOODBYE.WIN, JOUR-
NAL.NTX, MAG.NTX, MAINMENU.WIN, PRINTME.1ST, REM.NTX,
UPDTMENU.WIN, UPDTNOTE.WIN, AND WELCOME.WIN [all initially con-
tained in one PKZIPped file called CCTSxxxx (or CSDEMO)], and
README.1ST [by itself]) are included in their original unaltered
form, and that only Circuit Search is credited and in no way
misrepresented.
