- Shareware Breakthrough!
-
- Welcome to the Shareware Breakthrough CD-ROM. This disk contains hundreds
- of the latest shareware and public domain programs and files. This disc
- was designed for computers running Microsoft Windows 3.1 or later.
-
- The first thing you need to do is to install the Browser software for
- this CD-ROM. First launch Windows, and then choose Run from the File
- menu. At the command line type:
-
- D:\SETUP <ret>
-
- where D is your CD-ROM drive. (Note that often many machines set their
- CD-ROM drive to E instead of D.) Once the setup program has run you
- will now be able to launch the Browser software directly from a Windows
- icon in the "Shareware Breakthrough" program group.NOTE: The setup routine installs a version of the browser that includes
- animation and sound. If you wish at any time to use the version
- that does not contain the sound or animation, first click once on the
- Shareware Breakthrough program icon. Then go to the Properties
- item under the File menu. At the Command Line, Exhange the word
- "SHARE.EXE" in the path with "NOSOUND.EXE". From there on the other
- version will be launched.

- BMP Files
-
- The files in the /BMP directory are saved as .BMP files, also known
- as Windows BitMaps. These color picture files can be opened by
- most graphic programs. You can even use these files as background
- for your Windows desktop. This is done by first copying your .BMP
- file to the Windows directory. Next choose Control Panel from your
- Main window. Open Desktop and choose Center from the Wallpaper area.
- Finally click on the down arrow and locate your .BMP picture. Click
- once on your picture filename and click OK in the Desktop window.
- You now have a new background.
-
- EPS Files
-
- The files in the \EPS directory are saved as .EPS files, also known
- as Encapsulated Postscript. These files are most commonly used as
- black & white graphics in desktop publishing programs. They can be used
- in popular DTP programs such as PageMaker, or Ventura Publisher. They
- can be edited with programs that support EPS graphic formats such as
- Adobe Photoshop or Corel Draw. The files in the \THUMB directory are
- BMP thumbnail versions of the EPS files, and they are there for the
- Browser's use.
-
- GIF Files
-
- The files in the \GIF directory are saved as .GIF files, short for
- Graphics Interchange Format. This format is a popular compressed file
- format. These color picture files can be opened by most graphic programs.
-
- Fonts
-
- The files in this directory are True Type Fonts. Before installation,
- it is recommended that you first copy the desired font to hard drive.
- the Windows Font Installer loads all of the names of the fonts in a
- directory, and the 150+ names in the \FONTS folder on the CD-ROM can
- cause quite a delay.
-
- These fonts can be loaded by first choosing the Fonts control panel.
- Next, click on the Add button and navigate to the location of the
- font through the directory menu. Finally click once on the font name
- and click OK to add that specific font. The new font will now reside
- in the installed fonts listing, it will now be available to all Windows
- programs that support Truetype fonts.
