               PAF Review    -    Edition 95.3    -    March 1995     
          ͼ

     PAF Review contains descriptive information about shareware and freeware
     utilities  that  work with versions 2.xx of the Personal Ancestral File.
     Except  for a list of utilities for the MacIntosh version of PAF in file  
     @MAC.PAF,  PAF  Review   relates  only  to  the  IBM  PC  version.   The 
     "Cumulative"  version  of  PAF  Review  is  described  by this file.  It  
     completely  supersedes  all  previous  editions  and  contains  complete  
     information  on all programs and files covered up through this edition.
     
     To  create the individual files that make up PAF Review, run the program
     INSTALL.EXE.   It  creates the other files in a hard disk directory that
     you  select.   INSTALL first verifies that there is enough space - about
     1MB  of  disk space  for  this edition.  This number doesn't include the
     installation  programs  but  if  space  is  tight you can install from a  
     floppy  disk.   Once  the  install  is  complete, you no longer need the
     files named INSTALL.EXE, INSTALL.LZH, README and FILE_ID.DIZ.
     
     After  installation  you can browse, search or print any of the included
     material using the program PAFREV.EXE.  There are no parameters required
     and  the  PAF Review files are assumed to be in the current directory by
     default.   Type  PAFREV  /H for information on optional parameters.  For
     instructions  on  how  to  use PAFREV, use the built-in help by pressing 
     ALT H  at  any point.  PAFREV includes the ability to: look at any file, 
     print  a single file, print all files, and search for files containing a 
     short  piece  of text that  you  specify.   The text files in PAF Review 
     can  be  also be displayed or printed using other utilities or commands.
     PLEASE  NOTE:   Files  in  PAF Review end with a page eject character to
     allow unattended printing via the DOS copy command.  If you print with a
     program  that adds an eject at the end of each document, such as the DOS
     PRINT command, you will have a blank page between each file.
