All the filenames are limited to eight single-case characters, with an extension of up to three characters under DOS. Under the Macintosh, the names are 40 characters with a three character extension. Most directories have an index file named 00_index.txt that contains a description of each file in the directory. =========================================================================== 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! =========================================================================== We have included many tools and utilities for use with your PC and Macintosh on this disc for your convenience within the /dosutils /MacUtils directories, respectively.
