- CDTV Developer Tools Version 1.1 June 13 1991
-
-
- Many of the directories (and their contents) on this disk
- have been compressed into single files using the freely
- redistributable program "LHArc". To "reconstitute" a
- particular directory, simply format a floppy or make a
- partition on your hard drive and copy the corresponding
- ".LZH" file to it. Also copy the program "LHArc".
- Change into this directory and issue the command:
-
- LHArc -m x Audio.LZH
-
- (if you want to extract the audio tools, that it.)
-
- Once LHArc has completed extracting the directory and the
- files in it, you may delete both the ".LZH" file and the
- program "LHArc".
-
- Note that some of the contents of this disk are copyrighted.
