- WELCOME TO THE ADAGUIDE(TM) SERIES
-
- Volume 1 of the ADAGUIDE(TM) SERIES is a complete hypertext
- presentation of TITLE III of the Americans With Disabilities
- Act.
-
- Hypertext documentation, also known as "electronic books",
- permits the user to access selected information, quickly and
- without the necessity of reading from front to back, as in a
- regular document. This approach is particularly effective in
- complex, highly cross-referenced technical manuals and legal
- guides such as TITLE III.
-
- SHAREWARE NOTICE
-
- ADAGUIDE(TM), Volume I is shareware. As such, the author
- grants you a limited license to "try before you buy" for a
- thirty (30) day period. If you continue to use the ADAGUIDE
- (TM) after this trial period, you must register the software.
- Registration details and benefits are discussed at the end
- of this readme file.
-
- Please note that this shareware version of the ADAGUIDE(TM)
- Series is fully functional, it is NOT crippleware; however,
- registered users do receive additional benefits and inclu-
- sions to this program.
-
- Additionally, you are authorized and encouraged to share this
- software with others, so long as you include ALL of the files
- that were in the original .zip file that you downloaded. Please
- make sure that this readme file is also included.

-
- QUICK START
-
- This is a brief start-up guide to get you going with the soft-
- ware. Registered users receive a printed, bound USER'S MANUAL.
-
- INSTALLATION: Installation should be onto a hard drive to gain
- the best performance; however, the program can be installed on
- a floppy diskette.
-
- The installation process is quite simple:
-
- 1. Use PKZIP/PKUNZIP to extract the contents of ADA301.ZIP into
- a directory on your hard drive. We suggest you make a special
- directory for this program.
-
- 2. Once the files are unzipped, check the files against the file
- list above to make sure that you have a complete set.
-
- a. REQUIRED FILES: ALL files, except the README.COM/README.TXT
- (this file), are required to use ADAGUIDE(TM) Volume 1.
-
- GETTING STARTED: To start the ADAGUIDE(TM) program simply change
- to the directory containing the files, and then at the prompt,
- type: A3, and press enter.
-
- USING THE ADAGUIDE(TM): Access to various portions of this
- program is provided through (a) POP-UP MENUS, and (b) through
- HYPERTEXT HOTWORDS. We will discuss each, briefly, below.
-
- POP-UP MENUS: The pop-up menus are for general
- browsing through major sections (books) of the
- ADAGUIDE(TM) document. To activate a pop-up
- menu item, use the arrow (cursor) keys to select
- the menu topic and then press enter. You will
- be moved to the selected section of the guide.
-
- NOTE: POP-UP Menu items are shown with a BLACK
- background when they have been selected.
-
- HYPERTEXT HOTWORDS: These are the key elements
- that transport you into various cross references
- throughout the TITLE III regulations. ALL
- HOTWORDS are PRECEDED by the ∞ symbol. Many
- of them will also be in color (either the word,
- the symbol or both).
-
- To ACTIVATE a hotword, use the TAB key to select.
- As you do so, you will notice that the highlight
- bar skips from hotword to hotword. Once you have
- made your choice, PRESS THE ENTER key to activate
- the hotword.
-
- NOTE: You may reverse the selection process, that
- is go up the page, by using the Shift-Tab combina-
- tion.
-
- When you have selected and activated a hotword you
- will be instantly transported to detailed informa-
- tion relating to the hotword you selected.
-
-
- GETTING BACK: When you have finished reading a par-
- ticular hotword section, you will be instructed to
- bring up a POP-UP MENU, many of these will have a
- menu selection entitled: RETURN. Selecting this menu
- item will permit you to return to the area in the
- document where you originally selected the hotword.
-
- NOTE: Some brief, hotword sections, simply let you
- RETURN to you original place. In these cases there
- will be no POP-UP MENU available.
-
-
- GETTING HELP
-
- GETTING HELP: ON-LINE HELP is included in the ADAGUIDE(TM) pro-
- gram. Each of the key POP-UP MENUS will give you the option to
- select HELP. Additional details on the the above procedures as
- well as other available hypertext features are covered in the
- help section.
