Giga-ROM 2.0 Shareware CD - Classic Mac 1992

Congratulations! The Giga-ROM Archives version 2.0 is the largest collection of Macintosh software ever assembled on a CD-ROM.

There are 13,277 archives on this disc representing over 1.7 gigabytes (1,700 megabytes) of Macintosh shareware, freeware and public domain files.


Using Compact Pro
Most of the files are archived in Bill GoodmanÕs Compact Pro format. The Compact Pro archiving program is included on the disc in a folder on the root level of the CD-ROM.
Take the time to print out the release notes and the user guide, then consider registering your copy of the Compact Pro program. A handy order form is included for your convenience.

To de-archive a file, follow these simple instructions:

1. Install the Compact Pro program on your hard drive.
2. Copy the archived file(s) you wish to open to your hard drive.
3. Double click the archive you wish to open. The Compact Pro
program will launch automatically, or in some cases, the file
will de-archive itself without launching the program.
4. If the file launches Compact Pro, a screen will come up giving you
a chance to register your copy of Compact Pro (if you have not
already done so). Choose register to enter your name and
registration number. Otherwise, choose the button labeled Not
Yet. Your archive will appear in a new window showing the
file(s) available to de-archive. Click on (choose) the file(s) you
wish to remove from the archive. ÒCommand EÓ will extract
the chosen files and allow you to place them somewhere on
your hard disk.
5. To open another archive, choose ÒCommand OÓ (not zero) or look
under the file menu for ÒOpenÓ with your mouse.

Compact Pro is one of the best shareware programs on the market today. We recommend, as the author suggests, that you register your copy after the first 30 days of use. Bill Goodman deserves your support for this excellent program. Your $25 payment will earn you registered user status and will allow Bill to advise you of regular updates
