³ Summary ³
ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ

The BookRead format and method are used in several doors, so from
herein, all references to any given book will simply be stated as BOOK
whereby you will need to replace the word BOOK with the appropriate
name.

BookRead is a pproject we (the authors) started to put books on-line.
Any one can put a text file up.  What makes BookRead so unique is that
it remembers where the user was when thay log back on (book marks) and
the user can go forward OR backward in the book.

Each of the books can be read be the BookView program.  BookView is
incredibly easy to use and will run under Window or OS/2 in a DOS
window.  BookView is Windows aware.

From here, just type:

    BOOKVIEW BOOK

ie  BOOKVIEW TOUCHED

There is no extention on the book name.  The book will load and be

³ Multi-Node Operations ³
ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ

    No special steps need be taken under Windows, or any Mulri-tasker
that supports DPMI.  If your multi-tasker does not support DPMI, then
you will need to add the following to your BBS startup batch file of
*each* node:

    CWSDPMI -p -s<node directory>DPMI.SWP

    the -p tells CSWDPMI to load permamently in memory.

    the -s tells CWSDPMI to change the name and location of the swap file.
