DOCS DIRECTORY README ===================== This README.TXT file tells you about the contents of the DOCS directory. We've created this directory to make it easy for you to locate the manuals that go with the different benchmarks. This directory contains a separate subdirectory for each benchmark. Each subdirectory contains copies of that benchmark's manual files in uncompressed form. We've also also included the help files for each benchmark. THE DOCUMENTATION WE PROVIDE ============================ Each benchmark includes two manuals: A tester's handbook and a reference manual. The tester's handbook contains the minimum information you need to run the program, save the results, and interpret those results. The reference manual explains in detail all aspects of the benchmark program, such as how to install the files, how to analyze and interpret the results, what can affect a PC's results, and how we developed the benchmark's tests. We provide three versions of each manual (space permitting): * Microsoft (R) Word 6.0c for Windows (R) format (.DOC extension). This one's nicely formatted and includes screen captures. * Rich Text Format (.RTF extension). If you don't have Word for Windows, you may be able to open this file with another word processor that can read RTF and then print it. You'll lose some formatting when you import the RTF file, but you'll still get all the text and possibly the screen captures, depending on the application's graphics abilities. * A plain-text, ASCII version (.TXT extension). This is an unformatted version of the file. This one's not very pretty, but if you can't use either of the other versions, you should be able to print this ASCII file. We've also included the help files for Winstone (R) 96 and WinBench (R) 96. These files are the files with the .HLP extension. You can access the help file when the benchmark is running or by executing it from the Windows File Manager or Program Manager. THE DOCS DIRECTORY TREE ======================= Each benchmark has its own directory. You can use the following diagram to pinpoint which files you need and which files you can leave alone. \ZDBENCH\DOCS\ WB96 HELP WB96.HLP HANDBOOK WB96HBK.DOC WB96HBK.RTF WB96HBK.TXT REF WB96REF.DOC WB96REF.RTF WB96REF.TXT WS96 HELP WS96.HLP HANDBOOK WS96HBK.DOC WS96HBK.RTF WS96HBK.TXT REF WS96REF.DOC WS96REF.RTF WS96REF.TXT TRADEMARKS ========== WinBench (R) and Winstone (R) are registered trademarks of Ziff-Davis Publishing Company.
