This CDROM contains the Hobbes OS/2 Archives from the Internet site at
ftp-os2.cdrom.com.
Most of the files on this disc are either zip or zoo archives. There are
programs provided in the \utils\dos and \utils\os2 directories for extracting
these files.
We've included a program that helps move around on the disc. Type 'view'
or 'os2view' when in the root directory of the CDROM drive. This program
navigates through the complete zipped collection.

Here is a list of important files and directories on Disc 1:
os2view.exe CDROM Navigation utility (OS/2)
view.exe CDROM Navigation utility (MS-DOS)
utils/w16view.exe CDROM Navigation utility (Windows 3.1)
utils/w32view.exe CDROM Navigation utility (Windows 95/NT)
readme.txt Information about this CDROM

Floppies of IBM diskette images can be created using the utils/os2/loaddskf.exe
under DOS or OS/2. Diskette images usually have file extensions of
".dsk" or ".#dk" for multi-image sets.
|
OS/2 treats all files that are on a CDROM as being read only. This attribute
is carried with the file when it is either copied or "dragged and dropped" to
a hard disk or floppy. This attribute must be cleared before the file can be
deleted. From the command prompt type "attrib -r ". From the
Program Manager, open the settings pages for the file, select file, go to the
third page, and un-check the "read-only" box.
|
Some files available on the OS/2 archives at ftp-os2.cdrom.com have been
removed for this CDROM distribution because of copyright or export restriction.
These include:
CKermit
DES Encryption for OS/2
