- LANGUAGES AROUND THE WORLD
- =============================
-
- THANK YOU FOR BUYING THIS CD-ROM.
-
- This CD-ROM will give you a "total" cultural experience. You
- will not only learn new languages, but also the demographical
- and cultural backgrounds of each nation. You will learn
- new languages in a variety of ways: through games, puzzles,
- tutorials, databases, and more.
-
- This CD-ROM contains over 6,600 files or 250Mb of information.
- This is equivalent to quarter million pages of double-spaced
- typewritten pages. Million of trees has been saved because
- of CD-ROM technology.
-
- The CW viewer on this CD is custom-written for this CD-ROM.
- It is easy to use and powerful.
-
- The CW viewer has "see-thr'" capability to view the inside
- contents of ZIP files without unzipping them.
-
- The CW viewer has been tested under WINDOWS '95 and run fine.
-
- Depends on your system, you may need at least 600K RAM to run
- the language viewer under the main menu. If you get "insufficient
- memory" message, simply get out of Windows and the main menu.
- Then type: LANG <ENTER>
- To run the viewer directly from Windows. See TROUBLE-SHOOTING
- section for more help if you still have problems.
-
- No installation is needed if you use our Windows-based Language
- viewer. It also does not install any icon or program group in your
- Windows desktop either. Most people like this low profile feature.
-
- Language viewer lets you see any text file (.DOC, .TXT, or .ASC)
- and ZIP file. You lets you unzip file to the directory of your
- choice. You may not be able to see some foreign language if
- you do not have the foreign language version of the operating
- system installed in your computer.
-
- To start browsing, simply click on the LANGUAGE directory which
- will give you a long list of language subdirectories. Click
- on the ones that you want to examine. Click on any text or
- document file for descriptions of the programs. A good place
- to start is to click on the .DIZ file if available. .DIZ
- file lists a concise description of the program. Click on
- any .EXE or .BAT file twice will test run the program.
- Click on any .ZIP file will let you "see" inside the content
- of the compressed file. You can also unzip the ZIP file to
- your hard drive by clicking on the copy to hard disk button.
-
- Most games included in this CD-ROM work better with a sound
- card. If you don't have one and sound does not come out
- from your PC speaker, copy the game to your hard disk; then
- type: ATTRIB *.* -r < ENTER >
- Run and file that has names like SETUP, INSTALL, or CONFIG
- to change the system options like sound devices. Some
- programs have selections in the main menu for changing sound
- devices. Switch the sound option to PC SPEAKER for sound
- output.
