INSTALLATON INSTRUCTIONS
This 'electronic book' archive has been prepared with a state
of the art authoring program for DOS called BigText: I highly
recommend it. Text files are converted by BigText into executable
files with menus whose items are correlated with chapters or
illustrations in the text. Illustrations may be incorporated into
BigText books and easily displayed. Choose (I) from any document
screen to access the address of the publisher of BigText.
INSTALLATON INSTRUCTIONS
To enjoy the reports in the archive ORIGINS13.ZIP simply
unarchive the ZIP file to a directory of your choice. Among the
files in the archive are three executables plus readme.1st which
is an ASCII text file. The executables are self running
'electronic books'. DO NOT RUN ORIGINS OF MYTHOLOGY FROM A DOS
SHELL! There is a good chance, your computer will lock up: the
program which generates the master menu from which individual books
are accessed appears not to be compatible with PCTools for DOS
v8.0 and likely will cause problems with other DOS shells as well.
Proceed from a 'plain vanilla' DOS prompt.
Simply type <Go> and the press the Enter key and you will be
presented with a master menu from which you can choose to view the
introductory to the research, which includes the registration form,
and the shareware (or registered) versions of THE ORIGINS OF
MYTHOLOGY and the MATSE AND THE DREAMTIME. Simply follow the self
explanatory instructions at the bottom of the screen. The opening
screen of each the 'book' will appear with menu items for you to
select with the keyboard. These menu items correspond to chapter
or section headings within the document. By selecting one, you will
jump immediately to that section. If you wish to read the document
from the beginning to the end without interruption, select the first
menu item and proceed. Moving throughout the 'book' is intuitive
using the arrow, page, home and end keys. Read the top and bottom
menu bars for 'hot keys' which allow you to save and print sections
or the entire 'book' and perform other functions. There are several
exceptional illustrations in each book which can be located either
spontaneously if you do a continuous read from beginning to end
or by jumping from their own menu item. To view them, simply follow
the on-screen instructions and press the X key: any key press will
return to the text.
If you have the Microscoft Word for Windows version,
decompress the files to your WinWord directory. Files may
be opened and read as you would any text or doc file. The same
procedure should be followed for the version which is a package of
several ASCII text files.
