Overview

Instructions presented here, though possibly applicable in general terms to other software, are primarily meant to facilitate the installation and configuration of software available at BRAMA.

UnZipping/UnCompression

Many files and programs obtainable on the Internet, including fonts and keyboard drivers found at BRAMA, are distributed in "zipped" format. This is a defacto convention used for compressing and/or bundling related files. After retrieving "zipped" or compressed files and programs, and prior to their installation and configuration, it is necessary to "unzip" or uncompress them. It is recommended that prior to doing this that you create separate directories/folders where to store these extracted files.

For zipping/uncompression the following shareware programs obtainable from Simtelnet are recommended for each of the three principle operating system variants in use on PCs:

For DOS: Info-ZIP's UnZip 5.31: Free zipfile extractor

For Windows 3.1: WinZip v6.3 SR-1 16-bit

For Windows 95/NT: WinZip v6.3 SR-1 32-bit

Each program comes with fairly complete instructions.
