**IMPORTANT NOTICE about shareware: Most of the programs provided
are shareware and require that you send a payment to the program
author if you decide to keep and use a program past the shareware
trial period. The necessary information about the author can be found
in the provided database, text files in the directories, and within the
program.
Finding out about the programs (beyond browsing the folders).
We have provided an indexed TextWare database that allows you
to read about the games, find out about their authors, shareware fee,
rating, location on the CD-ROM, and search for any text. This database
also allows you to access the programs without using DOS.
Getting Started (using the TextWare Index):
1. At the DOS prompt, change your drive letter to the CD-ROM drive.
2. At the DOS prompt, type BEST
Textware will boot up automaticly and display the database.
3. For help with running Textware, refer to Textware directions
inlcluded with the disc packaging, or thee on line manual for
help running textware.
The programs on the disc have been categorized within the database. These
categories are:
1. Run Me
-This option will execute the program from the
CD-ROM without installing it on your hard drive.
2. Install Me
-This option calls the program to execute its
install procedure. This will install
the program on your hard disk.
3. Take Me There
-This option temporarly exits Textware to the DOS
directory where the program is located.
4. Take Me to the ZIP Area
-This option temporarly exits Textware to the DOS
directory where the PKZIP versoin of the program
is located.
To execute these options, simply move the cursor (with the mouse or arrow
keys) to the highlighted area. Then click with the mouse or press enter.
The program may also require a write to disk when it executes, which is
not possible since CD-ROMs are read only. Each program will execute
properly if the program and all of its related files are copied to a
writeable source (hard or floppy drive).
If you experience any problems with the programs, you may wish to install a
fresh copy on your hard drive from the ZIP files. The interface may not
always execute your commands to play or install the files. This commonly
occurs due to a lack of free memory. A working knowledge MS-DOS will also
assist you in the use this disc. The interface is not a necessity to use
the disc.
