    There is no need to install this diskette on a hard disk.  Reading
performance is good, running even on a diskette.  This should run on just
about any MS-DOS computer with 384KB of RAM or more, DOS 2.1 or more.
    Assuming this diskette is on drive A: now, just type:  A: and press
ENTER.  Then type: DBATE001 and press ENTER ("001" is a number).  
    (Note: if you've downloaded this from a bulletin board, remove or delete 
the download file, DBATE001.EXE, after extracting the files from it but before 
typing the command "DBATE001" -- otherwise you'd be extracting the files again 
rather than executing the DBATE001.BAT file.) 
    You can make money distributing this diskette, whether you subscribe to
the magazine or not.  Menu entry 8 explains this in detail - to distribute
the magazine, you'll have to update two files on this diskette (DBATE001.OLD
& DBATE001.NEW), which is done from inside menu entry 8.  So do not put a
write-protect tape on this diskette.  Writers & Editors are sought & will be
paid - see menu entry 2 for details.
    The filenames for this diskette are DBATE001.*, IRIS.*, & READ.ME.  If
you distribute via a bulletin board, condense these files into a self-extract-
ing archive-EXE file (LHARC, PAK, PKZIP, or ARC) & name it DBATE001.EXE. 
(DBATE001.PR is the text of the press release.)  Readers can create two other
files, BOOKMARK.*.  Delete these bookmark files before redistributing.  These
bookmark files won't fit on a 360KB diskette along with the original files.
