                           TEXT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM. 

Welcome to the TEXT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM - your passport to the world of 
computers! 

The TEXT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM has two main applications: 1) It  makes it pos-
sible for the COMPLETE COMPUTER NOVICE to distribute articles, jokes, sermons, 
poems, catalogues, etc. in the form of a computer program that meets inter-
national ShareWare distribution standards. And 2) It makes it possible for you 
to turn any text file into a competent database. A confused jumble of addres-
ses or study notes will yield the information you need at the press of a a few 
buttons. 

In order to get started, you may: 1) Type DEMO <ENTER> to view a demo/in-
structions, or 2) Type START <ENTER> to start programming. IMPORTANT: Before 
you begin programming, back up your original disk! The TEXT DISTRIBUTION SYS-
TEM erases and alters files as it goes! FOR FLOPPY DISKS: See "PROGRAMMING 
WITH FLOPPIES" on the opening menu of the DEMO program. 

The TEXT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM is also available in Afrikaans.
