CD3WD_38

Welcome to CD3WD_38 - CD 3rd World version 3.8 - technical documents on agriculture, health, water and sanitation, woodwork, metalwork, electrical trades, small and medium industries, and many other subjects - 800+ documents and books in Html, Gif, Jpg, and Pdf file formats which are stored on this CD as 25 off .EXE executable ZIP files and have to be unzipped onto your hard disc before you can view them. They are stored as 25 zip files instead of 1 since such a single large zip file takes too long for you to unzip...We stored them as zip files for the following reasons

- easier for CD copying process to ensure that the copy is perfect
- faster for the CD copying process also
- faster to copy onto your hard drive
- we got more on one CD by the zipping compression process
- it is easier to copy 25 .zip files across the internet that to try that with 67983 files or with one single large file
- the large size and low cost of most hard drives these days means that this option is now economically and logistically atractive

Check out the List of Contents if you want before installing onto your hard disc. There are 67983 files to be unzipped - that will take 20 to 60 minutes, and takes only about 900 Megabytes (0.90 gigabytes) on your hard drive.


Just double click on the file SETUP.BAT to do the installation direct from this CD or Flash Ram USB. This requires about 0.90 Giga.

Alternatively just double click on the file SETUP_HD.BAT to do the installation by copying from this CD or Flash Ram USB, and then immediately installing from the PC's hard drive, enabling you to remove the CD or flash ram. The copy process will take about 10 minutes and the the install will take another 20 to 60 minutes as before. This requires about 1.6 Giga spare space on your hard drive. At the end of a successful install, the copied files on C:\CD3WD can be deleted if desired, or can be allowed to remain as a master install which can be used to further copy to other PC's.

The file SET_COPY.BAT does the same as above, but has a pause in between the copy and the install. Needs 1.6 giga as above.

The file COPYONLY.BAT only does the copy to hard drive. Needs 1.6 giga as above.

You can if you want do partial installations only - the file names indicate pretty much what they contain, but note that some files, especially VITAHTML.htm apply to several categories.... Just double click on the file or files you wish to install, e.g. AGRIC.EXE to install most of the agriculture stuff... And note that the INDEX.EXE and the TWI9411.EXE files to give you a listing of the titles...

Check if your PC has adobe acrobat installed by clicking on this link: Check for Adobe acrobat. If nothing happens and/or error results then single click on Install Adobe Acrobat and choose option OPEN....

You can make a shortcut by right-clicking on that file C:\CD3WD_38\INDEX.HTM and using the option CREATE SHORTCUT; then drag that shortcut out to your desktop. Then start the system by double-clicking on that shortcut...


Note that we include on this disc for windows users Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is necessary to read the .pdf files as which some of the 800+ documents are stored; also Netscape Communicator version 4.7 browser for any windows users who do not have a browser installed (that is very unlikely, and also we apologise for having a relatively old version of this browser on this CD - a question of logistics at the time of mastering the content). Unix and linux users - please if necessary locate and install the necessary versions of zip/unzip, Adobe Acrobat, and browser - thank you....

This information can be disseminated by:

- copying the 25+ files over the internet, using FTP or a utility such as ROBOCOPY.EXE (included in this collection) which recognises \\ UNC addresses and IP addresses
- copying the 25+ files by using a flash ram usb device from one computer to another
- copying the 25+ files by using a usb-to-usb cable from one computer to another
- copying the 25+ files by burning to a CDR or CDRW and using that

Enjoy! and copy this CD unlimited and give, sell at cost, or sell for profit as many copies as you can - the intention of this CD is to contribute to 3rd World Development and the alleviation and/or elimination of poverty.

Note that this product is in no way compelete - for example there is nothing which I can find on tractor maintenance! - therefore the CD is and will be dynamic - we welcome your contributions, suggestions and comments
