Readme for your Landolt-Boernstein CD-ROM

    In order to run the Acrobat Reader with Search, i.e. full text index,
    you have to install it on your harddisk first.

    Available on the CD-ROM there are:
    Acrobat Reader 4.05 + Search for Windows 95, 98, & NT 4.0 6.6 MB
    Acrobat Reader 4.05 + Search for Macintosh (MacBinary) 6.0 MB

    Other versions can be downloaded from the site

          http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/alternate.html

    e.g.:
          Acrobat Reader 4.05 + Search for Macintosh (BinHex) 8.2 MB

2)  After installation of a suitable reader version start by
    double clicking on the respective executable program file.
    For example the 32 bit (MS-Windows 95)-version is started by
    double clicking on ACRORD32.exe.

3)  Open the file start.pdf in the root of the CD-ROM and
    proceed by mouse click on the links. The PDF files are accessed by following
    the link "Electronic version".

4)  For MS-Windows the program CURVESCAN may be installed from
    the respective folder on the CD-ROM. This program can be used to
    digitize curves in diagrams of the pdf files and import the data into
    other applications.

    In using this program it is recommended to deactivate in
    File menue/General Preferences of Acrobat Reader or Adobe Acrobat
    the setting "Smooth text and images". Zoom into the figure to a suitable
    resolution and copy it via clipboard to CURVESCAN.
