     UN-ARCHIVING
     ************

     MANY DIRECTORIES ON THE DISC CONTAIN PROGRAMS THAT ARE IN THE
     ARCHIVE FORMAT.  THIS FORMAT CONVERTS A MULTIPLE FILE PROGRAM
     INTO A ONE FILE ARCHIVE.  TO RUN PROGRAMS THAT ARE ARCHIVED, A
     USER MUST UN-ARCHIVE THESE FILES.

     TO UNARCHIVE A PROGRAM, COPY PKXARC.COM AND THE ARCHIVED FILE
     (example: PKXARC.COM AND LABELER.ARC) ON TO YOUR MAGNETIC MEDIA.
     THEN FROM THE MAGNETIC MEDIA TYPE (example):

                        PKXARC -E LABELER.ARC

     THE FILES WILL THEN EXTRACT THEMSELVES FROM THE ARCHIVE.  THE
     PROGRAM WILL THEN BE READY TO RUN.


     BASIC
     *****

     MANY PROGRAMS ON THE DISC WERE WRITTEN IN THE BASIC LANGUAGE
     (example ASTRO.BAS).  TO EXECUTE OR RUN THESE PROGRAMS, YOU WILL
     NEED TO UTILIZE A BASIC PROGRAM.  THE TWO MOST COMMON BASIC
     PROGRAMS ARE BASICA.EXE AND GWBASIC.EXE.  THESE PROGRAMS ARE
     USUALLY FOUND ON YOUR MS-DOS DISK.

     TO RUN A BASIC PROGRAM, COPY BASICA.EXE (OR GWBASIC.EXE) AND THE
     BASIC PROGRAM YOU WANT TO RUN ON TO YOUR MAGNETIC MEDIA.  THEN
     FROM THE MAGNETIC MEDIA TYPE (example):

                        BASICA ASTRO.BAS

                     (or GWBASIC ASTRO.BAS)

     THE PROGRAM WILL THEN EXECUTE AND RUN.
