USING THE VIEW PROGRAM
To use this disc, merely change drives to your CD-ROM drive, then
type "VIEW" in the root directory of the CD-ROM drive, then press
enter. The VIEW program will then display a listing of the
subdirectories and their description on the disc. Use the cursor
keys to move the highlight bar up and down the screen, then press
ENTER to change into any of the subdirectories. The VIEW program
will then display a list of files within that particular
subdirectory. (To return back to the subdirectory listing, press the
ESCAPE key.)
While in the list of files, the VIEW program can let you read a text
file, uncompress a zipped file, or copy a file onto another drive.
To read a text file, merely position the highlight bar onto the line
with the filename you wish to read, then press ENTER. While reading
the document, if you wish to search for a string, press either the
"S" key, CONTROL-S (type "S" while holding down the Control key), or
F9 then enter the string for which you wish to search. For further
occurrences of the string, merely press the S key, CONTROL-S, or F9
key. You may do reverse searches by pressing R, CONTROL-R, or F10 in
the same manner.
To uncompress a file, position the highlight bar onto the line with
the filename you wish to uncompress, then press ENTER. The screen
will change to ask you to where you wish to uncompress the file, the
default being a directory on your C: drive. If you wish, you may
edit this destination box. Press ENTER to begin uncompressing the
file, or press ESCAPE to abort. After uncompressing, you will have
the option to either exit out to the directory to which the VIEW
program uncompressed the file, or to return to the menu; if you
decide to return the menu, be sure to remember to where the file was
uncompressed!
To copy a file, position the highlight bar onto the line with the
wish to copy, then press ENTER. The screen will change to ask you to
where you wish to copy the file, the default being a directory on
your C: drive. If you wish, you may edit this destination box.
Press ENTER to copy the file, or press ESCAPE to abort. After
copying, you will have the option to either exit out to the directory
to which the VIEW program copied the file, or to return to the menu;
if you decide to return the menu, be sure to remember to where the
file was copied!
