QUICK START: POINT YOUR BROWSER AT INDEX.HTM IN THE CD ROOT DIRECTORY, LAUNCH AND
ENJOY!
Windows Users: We hope you aren't reading this, because your CD autolaunched the
intended menu instead. However, should our hopes be dashed, see below.
Non-Windows Users: This CD was created in Windows XP using Nero 6.0. We have taken
pains to make it as friendly as we can for Non-Windows users, and tested it on a
Macintosh of recent vintage. These elements include:
a). All content files are Adobe Acrobat .pdf files, one of the most portable formats
around. Most are compatible with Acrobat 4.0 or later, tho we recommend 5.0 or greater
if you have it available to you. Most personal computers have Acrobat Reader installed,
but if yours does not, you can download a free copy at www.adobe.com
b). Did NOT create a directory structure that would require you to click many levels deep
to find anything, should the menus fail. All content is right in the top-level root
directory.
c). All file names follow the lowest-common-denominator 8.3 format for maximum
cross-platform compatibility. As this unfortunately means that practically all of
their names are worthless for communicating their contents, we've also:
d). Provided a file named CDTOC.PDF in the root directory, which is a cross reference
of all file names to their actual content, by section, that matches:
e). Our CD Menus, which are in html (i.e. web pages). You are probably reading this
because your CD did not autolaunch the INDEX.HTM file main menu. Find it in the root
directory of the CD and launch it in the default web browser of your computer.
f). Provided this README in the hopes that at least you'll give us credit for trying
to be helpful.
And, should all that fail in helping you navigate the CD, please contact
secretary@heinleinsociety.org
and we shall do our utmost to assist you.
LAST WORD: If you click on the links on the menu and the .pdf with the actual content
does not launch, or if you click on an actual .pdf file in the CD directory and it
does not launch, it probably means that you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed
on your computer. If this is the case, you should visit www.adobe.com and download and
then install the most recent (and FREE) version of Acrobat Reader for your platform
(Windows, Macintosh, Linux, etc). Then try again!
