RevMedia

To ensure that the latest diskette is given the attention it deserves the contents are outlined below. See on-disk documentation for version compatibility and author information. The diskette consists of a group of AREV files on the root directory in account global (DISKETTE_THREE_BP, DISKETTE_THREE_DOCS, DISKETTE_THREE_HELP, DISKETTE_THREE_MACROS, DISKETTE_THR EE_MENUS, DISKETTE_THREE_TEMPLATES). There are three subdirectories, DOS, GRAPHICS and PROBANK. DOS contains some DOS specific utilities, GRAPHICS contains a complete set of graphics related C programs and PROBANK contains a shareware graphing utility we are pleased to include for your trial. Additional documentation on the GRAPHICS and PROBANK subdirectories can be found in DISKETTE_THREE_DOCS. If any additional routines have documentation in this file, the routines are marked with a ¯ Note that in keeping with our policy, source code is provided for all AREV routines and most of the assembler routines. As there was so much code the diskette has been "PAKed" - see the on-diskette README files for details of how to extract the information.
