Originally posted to alt.binaries.old.nl by MeiMei. Public (software) Library Monthly CD The PsL Monthly CD contains all the new and updated programs written up in the current month's issue of PsL News plus a different section from our disk-based library each month. The program PSL_SHRD displays the complete text of the issue of PsL News on which this CD is based plus all the programs in the Section of the Month and will install any of the programs with the press of a key. The files on this CD are in ZIP format and contain a FILE_ID.DIZ, for ease of access on BBSs. The file PKZIP204.EXE is a self-extracting archive located in the root directory of the CD. It is required for un-ZIP-ing the files. If you do not already have PKUNZIP available in a directory in your path, copy PKZIP204.EXE to your hard disk and execute it to extract the files within it. Then copy PKUNZIP.EXE to a directory in your PATH. (Type PATH at the DOS prompt to see what directories are in your PATH. See your DOS manual.) Also in the root directory of the CD is a file with the name VIEW.COM which is a simple file scrolling/viewing utility. If you do not already have a file viewing utility, copy this one to a directory in your PATH. The Windows-based program, PSL_SHRW, requires that you first copy the files VBRUN300.DLL and WBTRCALL.DLL from the RUNTIMES directory on the CD to the WINDOWS directory on your hard disk. Description ("FILES.BBS") Files: A description file by the name of "FILES.BBS" is in each directory and contains the descriptions of each program in that directory. You can do a quick read of the programs in a directory by changing into the directory and typing \VIEW FILES.BBS About Public (software) Library: PsL has been acquiring, testing, reviewing, organizing and distributing public domain and shareware since 1982.
