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.
