- HOW TO INSTALL: This sofware consists of many files in 2 self-extracting
- archives - CDINSTL1.EXE and CDINSTL2.EXE. Create a directory - we suggest
- the name "CDROMG" - on your hard drive, copy these 2 files into it, extract
- the files by typing the command names listed above, and you are ready to run!
- (Once the files are extracted, CDINSTL1.EXE and CDINSTL2.EXE may be deleted.)

- For detailed step-by-step help with installation, see the steps listed below,
- which assume you are installing the software from 2 floppies on drive A: and
- are installing CD-ROM GUIDE files to your C: hard disk. (If you are using
- drive B, substitute B: for A: everywhere):
-
-
- C: (make your hard disk the default drive)
- MKDIR \CDROMG (create a CDROM guide directory)
- CD \CDROMG (go to the new directory)
- -- insert the disk containing CDINSTL1.EXE into drive A: --
- COPY A:*.* C: (copy all files to your hard drive)
- -- insert the disk containing CDINSTL2.EXE into drive A: --
- COPY A:*.* C: (copy all files to the hard drive)

-
- USING CD-R0M GUIDE:
-
- CD-ROM GUIDE is menu driven and easy to use. Check the prompt window at the
- top of the screen to see which keys you can use at each point in the
- program.
-
- The <esc> key will always return you to a previous menu, and eventually, allow
- you to exit the program.
-
- Use the <enter> key and the cursor keys to make menu selections.
-
- Use <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to see the next page of a list of titles, or
- to change from one title description screen to the next title in the same
- subcategory.
-
- Use the <F10> key to print out the data on a title description screen. Be
- sure your printer is turned on and connected to the LPT1 printer port.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS:
-
- 1. I pressed <F10> to print out information about a CD-ROM title, but then
- discovered that my printer was not turned on. After turning on the printer,
- the screen is still frozen.....
-
- Reboot your computer by pressing <Ctl>,<Alt>, and <Del> at the same time.
- Restart the CDROMG program.
- Be sure the printer is on, connected and ready before pressing <F10>.
-
- 2. I get an error message saying "Unable to open Index File" or "Unable to
- open Data File", and the program quits.....
-
- CDROMG.EXE requires access to a number of files in your current default
- directory. Check to see that all the files listed below are in the same
- directory as CDROMG.EXE, if not, try the installation again:
-
- CDROMG.EXE SHOW.EXE SHOW-PCX.EXE TEXTMODE.EXE
- MM.PCX K.DBQ Q0075801.GIF
- Q?????01.PCX ...(6 files)
- M???.I .........(51 files)
-
- Be sure to set your default directory before starting CDROMG. See the
- above instructions for details.
-
- 3. When I try to run CDROMG, I get a message "This program requires VGA,
- some other video card was detected".....
-
- Your system must have a VGA card and color monitor to operate properly and
- see the color screen shot pictures.
