============================== README.TXT ================================ Welcome to the Usenet Source Code CDROM Volume 3. This CDROM archives newsgroups on the Internet where programmers publish and release their program source codes. These newsgroups include alt.sources, comp.sources.misc, comp.sources.postscript, comp.sources.unix and comp.sources.x. All of the source codes were posted as newsgroup articles and were dated from the year 1993 to early 1996. Each release of source code is indexed either by volume and issue numbers or by the date it was posted on the newsgroup. The newsgroup article files are located in directories whose pathnames reflect this information. Most article files have their contents unsharred and extracted to their corresponding directories. Please check the files "00_index.txt" under each directory for the articles' subject lines and the filename listing for that directory. ========================================================================== Here is a list of some important files and directories: 00global.txt Global index of this CDROM. 00_index.txt Top Level index of this disc 00_index.htm Index for this CDROM in HTML format. setup.exe Windows Installation Program for this CDROM view.exe File Browser/Uncompressor for MS-DOS utils/w16view.exe File Browser for Windows 3.1. utils/w32view.exe File Browser for Windows 95, Windows NT, and Win32s. readme.txt The file you are currently reading docs/ Documentation regarding this CDROM docs/view.doc Documentation regarding VIEW.EXE newsgrps/ Where all the news articles are located. ========================================================================== Quick Start Instructions: MSDOS Quick Start: Change to your CDROM drive and type "view".
