│ This is a VENDINFO Product Information Record │
│ │
│ This record is a means of conveying information about a software │
│ product from the author to distributors and users. It contains a │
│ normal, "human-readable" section (you're reading it now), followed │
│ by a compressed data record. The data record contains a great │
│ deal of information in a form useable by automated tools. This │
│ allows BBSes, disk vendors, etc. to test automatically for │
│ permission to distribute, and to automatically extract product │
│ information for use in BBS files databases, vendor catalogs, etc. │
│ │
│ The VENDINFO file standard is published and is freely useable. │
│ │
│ The VENDINFO toolset includes a free end-user viewer, processing │
│ tools for use by distributors (BBSes, shareware disk vendors, │
│ etc.), and the editor used by author/publishers to produce these │
│ records. These tools are either free or very-low cost shareware. │
│ The toolset can be obtained from many sources, including the │

o Place the Crossdown distribution diskette in the appropriate
diskette drive.
o Execute the "INSTALL.BAT" program on the distribution diskette.
For example, if the distribution diskette is on drive A:, type
the MS-DOS command, "A:INSTALL A".
o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
If you downloaded Crossdown from a BBS (or received it in the form of
archive files from some other source), you will need to perform the
following steps.
o Extract the contents of the archive file in a temporary
directory on your hard drive. The procedure for doing this
varies, depending on the form in which you received the package.
