================================= README.TXT ================================== 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 zip 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 some important files and directories: readme.txt The file you are currently reading 00_index.htm Index for this CDROM in HTML format. os2view.exe File Browser/Uncompressor for OS/2 view.exe File Browser/Uncompressor for MS-DOS utils\w16view.exe File Browser for Windows 3.1. utils\w32view.exe File Browser for Windows 95, Windows NT, and Win32s. docs\view.doc Documentation regarding VIEW.EXE =============================================================================== 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.
