=============================== README.TXT ================================== This CDROM contains the Hobbes OS/2 Archives from the Internet site at ftp-os2.cdrom.com. Most of the files on this disc are either zip or zoo archives. There are programs provided in the \utils\dos and \utils\os2 directories for extracting these files. We've included a program that helps move around on the disc. Type 'view' or 'os2view' when in the root directory of the CDROM drive. This program navigates through the complete zipped collection. ============================================================================== Here is a list of important files and directories on Disc 1: os2view.exe CDROM Navigation utility (OS/2) view.exe CDROM Navigation utility (MS-DOS) utils/w16view.exe CDROM Navigation utility (Windows 3.1) utils/w32view.exe CDROM Navigation utility (Windows 95/NT) readme.txt Information about this CDROM filename.txt All the file names. disc1/archiver/ Compressors/De-compressors disc1/bbs/ OS/2 BBS's, QWK Mail, Internet mail disc1/comm/ Communications & BBS utilities disc1/demos/ Commercial Software Demos disc1/dev32/ 32-bit dev. utilities & src disc1/diskutil/ File/directory/disk utilities disc1/drivers/ Device drivers disc1/editors/ Editors and browsers disc1/fonts/ Fonts disc1/games/ Games disc1/graphics/ Graphics programs disc1/icons/ Icons disc1/info/ Various text/information files disc1/lang/ C, C++, Fortran, Perl, Awk, Prolog. disc1/math/ Mathematical and simulation software disc1/mmedia/ Multimedia-related programs/utilities disc1/msdos/ OS/2 DOS emulator utilities disc1/network/ Network programs utilities and updates | (Lanserver, TCP/IP, Netware) disc1/newsltr/ Newsletters / columns / frequently asked | questions disc1/print/ Printer Utilities disc1/rexx/ REXX programs, libraries & src disc1/secure/ Security programs disc1/shellutl/ Shell replacements, color directory listers, and | other time saving add ons for your OS/2 shell | sessions. disc1/sysutil/ System performance monitors, hardware | diagnostics, configuration utilities, and | system resource/class viewers. disc1/tex/ TeX typesetting language disc1/textapps/ Miscellaneous text mode applications disc1/winos2/ WinOS/2 session utilities disc1/wpsutil/ Various PM/Workplace Shell based utilities ============================================================================== Floppies of IBM diskette images can be created using the utils/os2/loaddskf.exe under DOS or OS/2. Diskette images usually have file extensions of ".dsk" or ".#dk" for multi-image sets. ============================================================================== OS/2 treats all files that are on a CDROM as being read only. This attribute is carried with the file when it is either copied or "dragged and dropped" to a hard disk or floppy. This attribute must be cleared before the file can be deleted. From the command prompt type "attrib -r ". From the Program Manager, open the settings pages for the file, select file, go to the third page, and un-check the "read-only" box. ============================================================================== Some files available on the OS/2 archives at ftp-os2.cdrom.com have been removed for this CDROM distribution because of copyright or export restriction. These include: CKermit DES Encryption for OS/2 ============================================================================== Although you may own this disk, you do not own the programs recorded on it. Many programs on this disk are shareware. You are free to try each program for a limited amount of time. If you are satisfied, and want to continue to use the program, you are expected to register the program. You register by sending a specified amount of money directly to the author of the program.
