Here are a few helpful hints on using The DISC!'s custom interface:
LAUNCH This button generally launches the executable file that
runs the program or demo you're using. Depending on a
particular program's setup system, this button may or may
not be active.
READ ME This button is used with some programs that require extra
information to run, or that have read-me files that
explain technical or procedural steps.
INSTALL The Install button is generally used to run an install
or setup program. As with the Launch button, this may
vary depending on the demands or procedures of individual
programs.
HELP This button brings up the brief guide to the user
interface that you're using now.
QUIT The Quit button lets you return to the Windows interface.
In general terms, if you are having trouble running or
installing a program from Windows, try running or installing the
program from the DOS prompt. With such a wide variety of programs
and demos, you will find a similar variety of launch and run
procedures.
If you have never had the opportunity to install Video for Windows,
then you will find an installable runtime version in the sub-directory \winvideo.
Simply go to that directory and run 'setup'... the video viewer will then be
installed on your hard drive and you will be able to watch our video clips.
