             ================================

Over the years, many of our customers have asked if we make
copies of the files on Salt Air available for download.
Meeting this need we offered QIC-80 tape backups of Salt Air.

Now that most machines come with CD-ROM drives, we are now
offering the contents of Salt Air's file directories on this
CD-ROM.

What Is Included On This CD-ROM
==============================================================
Aside from the Salt Air file directories, there are some other
files included on this CD-ROM that are beneficial.  These
files are broken down into separate sub-directories.

   \BESTOFSA\ - The File Directories and files from Salt Air
   \ACROBAT\  - Documentation Viewer.
   \DOCS\     - Location of PCBoard Documentation.

The rest of this document will talk briefly about each of
these areas and in the case of Salt Air's bulletins and files,
instructions for installing them on your system are included.

Salt Air's File Directories
==============================================================
For some SysOps, they may choose to simply use this disc as a
way to quickly grab files.  They may never install it on their
system and instead, simply use a file-finding utility to get
the desired file.

However, we have made it easy as possible to add the files to
your system.  This was done because you can take advantage of
PCBoard's excellent description and file searching facilities.
When you find out how easy it is to install on your system, it
will not be long before you can be taking advantage of
PCBoard's Boolean searching, etc.

The following describe the steps necessary to install Salt
Air's file directories on your system:

   1.  Begin by creating a new conference.  A good title name
       for this conference may be "Salt Air Files"

   2.  The configuration might look like the following:

               Menu Listing             Path/Name List File
 Doors       :                      :
 Bulletins   :                      :
 Scripts     :                      :
 Directories : C:\PCB\FILES\DIR     : C:\PCB\FILES\DIR.LST
 Download Paths (listing only)      : C:\PCB\FILES\DLPATH.LST

       Notice that the Doors, Bulletins, and Scripts areas are
       blank.  This is done to simplify the configuration of
       the conference because our purpose for creating the
       conference is to make the files available.

       The DIR.LST can be found in the \BESTOFSA directory of
       the CD-ROM.  Notice that the DIR, DIR.LST, and DLPATH.LST
       all point to directories on drive C (presumably a non-CD
       drive).  This is desirable because these files are
       accessed frequently and therefore you should have them
       on a fast drive.  Furthermore, CD-ROMs are read-only and
       files on the discs cannot be edited.  Most likely you will
       have to change the drive letters in the DIR.LST to accommodate
       your system.

       NOTE:  The sample files on the CD-ROM are based on the
       assumption that your CD-ROM is drive Q.  This drive may
       differ in your system so be sure appropriate changes
       are made.  To quickly change the drive designation in
       files like the BLT.LST and DIR.LST, use the CHANGE.EXE
       program, or with PCBoard V15.3 or higher use PCBSETUP.  
       This lets you change any string (like Q:\) to any other 
       string (like E:\) quickly and easily using one simple command.  

   3.  IDX file. When working with slower drives like CD-ROMs,
       it is extremely beneficial to take advantage of PCBoard's 
       ability to index downloadable files for quick access.

       This is done by using the MAKEIDX program, for additional
       information regarding MAKEIDX.EXE, consult your PCBoard
       Sysop Manual, or contact technical support.


   4.  In order to access the files you have now setup, you need
       to setup your download path list file DLPATH.LST.  Since
       you've already created the IDX file with MAKEIDX, you only
       need to enter the path and filename of the IDX file.

       EXAMPLE: %C:\PCB\GEN\BESTOFSA.IDX

       The percent (%) sign tells PCBoard that you're using an index
       file.
