| PCjr Programs, Upgrades, Fixes, Information |
+----------------------------------------------------+
Many interesting things pertaining to the PCjr are and will be in this file
area. However, many of you out there may have some info that I am unaware
of. If so, please leave a message and I will put it here. Or even better
would be for you to upload a text file with the info in it. I'm always on
the lookout for new stuff, so if you know of any programs, fixes, patches
or whatever, please send them to me so other people can use them.
Some of the files in this area can be viewed while online by using the Type
command. The only files you cannot view are the ones with a .ZIP extension.
These are programs or other information files especially for the PCjr that
must be downloaded to your computer and then unZIPed with the PKUNZIP program
which is available in the New User file area.
