Acrobat Reader
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html
Acrobat reader is vital for getting much of the content that
is on the world wide web. It is actually a program that allows
you to view any document that has been saved in .pdf (portable
document format). pdf shrinks files quite a lot while still
maintaining high quality. For these reasons it has become
very popular on the web. Some of the files on this CD are
in pdf format and you will need acrobat to view them. The
Adobe home page can tell you more about this product.
Installation: To install Acrobat reader,
click
here and choose to open (or to run) the file/program.
This will start the installation program. If you get a security
warning at this stage, you will need to click the "Yes"
button to continue with the installation. Once the installation
begins, follow the installation instructions.

PowerCrypt

Got files that you want to keep safe? Then you should encrypt
them. PowerCrypt allows you to encrypt files so that they
cannot be restored without a password. You can even choose
the level of protection. If you use a short password you will
get a low level of security. If your password is long enough,
no one will be able to get in.
Installation: To install PowerCrypt,
click
here and choose to open (or to run) the file/program.
This will start the installation program. If you get a security
warning at this stage, you will need to click the "Yes"
button to continue with the installation. Once the installation
begins, follow the installation instructions. If you have
any trouble with your installation, there are further instructions
at the PowerCrypt
home page.
Visual Basic Runtime Library
http://www.microsoft.com
The Visual Basic Runtime Library is necessary to use any
program developed using Microsoft Visual Basic. It contains
instructions for many common elements of programs (such as
parts of the interface, and many internal functions), to make
it easier to develop programs in VB. This library is required
for some of the software on this CD, and in any case it is
a good thing to have installed in case it is needed for something
later.
We could not include this one on the CD, but it is only a
small download from Microsoft. Click here
to be taken to the download page.
Installation: download and run vbrun60sp5.exe
Once the installation begins, follow the installation instructions.
UltimateZip
http://www.ultimatezip.com
UltimateZip is a free compression utility. It is really tough
to do anything without a compression utility as most programs
that you download off the web are compressed to make them
smaller (it speeds up downloads). In fact, a number of the
programs we have on this disk are compressed and you won't
be able to install them without a compression utility. If
you have WinZip already
(and a lot of people do) then don't worry about this one.
If you don't have WinZip (or you are not sure) then install
this one, and off you go! For more information, visit the
UltimateZip home page
Installation: Click here
and choose to open (or to run) the file/program. This will
start the installation program. If you get a security warning
at this stage, you will need to click the "Yes"
button to continue with the installation. Once the installation
begins, follow the installation instructions.
