Introduction


   Welcome to the Nightowl CDROM File Retrieval System.  You have just
   purchased the most up-to-date single source of Shareware, Freeware and
   Public Domain software available on one CDROM.  Many hours of work
   have gone into making the Nightowl CDROM as  enjoyable and user friendly
   as possible.

   Your ROM contains many thousands of compressed files and they are all
   Shareware, Freeware or Public Domain.  Night Owl's Publisher takes
   pains to insure that no commercial software appears on the ROM.
   Please tell us if you find any commercial software on this CD!

   Night Owl's Publisher now includes three fast, user-friendly file
   retrieval systems designed to make examination of the thousands of
   files an easy and pleasant experience.  They are:

          NIGHT.EXE   -  DOS retriever
          GNIGHT.EXE  -  Graphics (color VGA required) retriever
          WNIGHT.EXE  -  Windows 3.1 retriever

   The Night programs and accompanying files allow you to easily search
   for, find, examine, and copy the desired file(s) from this cornucopia
   of software.  On-line help, mouse support and many other features are
   included to help you in this process. We beleive (and have been told
   by others) that it is this is the best retrieval system in the world
   today!  We are interested in your suggestions to help keep it that
   way.
