Data Based Advisor -- August 1993

Source Code -- Contents

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Files provides in this file be text format .TXT files, readable by any
editor. Such files may contain several routines.

From DOS, you can read a text file using the TYPE command, the shareware
LIST utility, or the MS-DOS EDIT utility.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Files provided in this file may be "zipped" files. To extract, you'll
need a copy of PKZIP from PKWARE, Inc., a shareware program that you can
obtain from most CompuServe forums.

A zipped file can contain several files. They can be larger than the
zipped file, often twice as large or more, so be sure you have disk
space.

On some occasions, you will be advised to extract a particular file
slightly differently. For example, the -O and -D flags unzip contained
files into subdirectories of the current directory. The subdirectories
are created if necessary. This only occurs if specified in the original
zipped file.
