3] Welcome to the premiere HINTS AND TIPS disk. 4] We hope you enjoy it. The contents of the disk have been arranged as simply as possible and we have tried to include a little bit of everything, so there should be something to please everyone. The GAMES directory is, of neccessity the largest (there's not too many people with a computer who don't play games, now is there), and has lots of hints, tips and cheats for the more popular games. Please read the rest of this file, even though you might think it's boring, dull stuff, it won't take long, and you might even find out something you didn't know before. 4]DISCLAIMER We absolutely, irrevocably, completely and flatly (I think that says it all) DO NOT accept any responsibility for any Computer Hardware or Software damage that may be caused by the use of the information on this disk. The information has been sourced from here, there and everywhere and we do not guarantee it. ('cos we aint even tried most of it).

If you do not already have one, then you do now. Try using it instead of the CLI, you'll find it much easier and a lot less painful. Please read the instructions CAREFULLY, it's a very easy program to use. 4]PUBLIC DOMAIN At Leejan Enterprises we have one of the largest ranges of Amiga Public Domain programs in Australia. These cover Business programs, games, utilities, demos, educational programs, music and lots more, all at a price you can afford. For more information on Public Domain please see the P.D.Software File in this drawer. 4]HOW TO USE THE TEXT READER The program we have used to read the text files also allows for searching the file for a specific text string and also for printing. 4] SEARCHING Down the bottom of the screen you will see <> , just click on this with the mouse and a requester will appear. Type in the words you want to search for, press return and Hey Presto ! there it is. E.G. You're looking in the file GAMES HINTS for "Double Dragon". Make sure that you're at the start of the file before searching, as it will only search the file AFTER the position of the cursor NOT BEFORE, click on FIND, then type in the requester DOUBLE DRAGON and press return. 4] PRINTING To print a file, look down the bottom of the screen and you will see PRT/COPY. Click on this with the mouse and it will change to COPY PRINT CANCEL Make sure your printer's turned on and just click on PRINT. 4]COMPRESSED FORMAT The text files and pictures on this disk have been compressed using the public domain program POWERPACKER to conserve disk space. 4]HOW DID WE DO IT You may be wondering what sort of expensive, extravagant, exotic Amiga equipment we used to put this disk together.
