- THE WORLD DIGITIZED:
-
- What you have here is a copy of the "The World Digitized", in
- a format that is easy to unpack and view with a simple viewing
- utility called SWIVEL. Therefore, the normal instructions for
- installing The World Digitized do not apply to this copy. If you
- have not already done so, un-arc the WORLD.ARC file first by typing:
- PKXARC WORLD.ARC
- (PKXARC is a shareware ARCing/de-ARCing program, and is required to
- extract this database.) If you have a hard disk (with about 3
- megabytes free), you may then run the batch file SWINST.BAT to
- install SWIVEL and the data for The World Digitized. The result
- will be the same as if you had followed the original instructions
- for installing and unpacking The World Digitized to create the ASCII
- .MP1 version of the data files.
- If you don't have a hard disk (or enough space free), you can
- modify SWINST.BAT or do the de-ARCing by hand. SWINST.BAT assumes
- you have the program PKXARC in your path.
- Happy trails!
