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 zipped 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!
