========================================================================= MY INGRAM FAMILY 1651-1925, CD-ROM version, by I.M. Sowa Scanned and edited by Richard P. Sowa Readme notes, 1/16/99, revised 1/21/2011 ========================================================================= TABLE OF CONTENTS This document contains the following sections: Overview Quick Start System Requirements What's on this CD? Printing your own pages How to get additional copies Copyright info ========================================================================= OVERVIEW ========================================================================= This CD-ROM contains the entire text of the original book as published in hard copy by my mother, Iona May (Ingram) Sowa. There are actually two versions of the book on this CD. Each version of the book is the complete book, so only one version is required. The first is in a directory called "onefile". It is a single, 31.4 megabyte pdf file. The second is in a directory called "chapters". This second version has been broken up into smaller files, the largest of which is 13.6 megabytes. The Adobe Acrobat files were created specifically for viewing on a computer. Any or all of the pages can be printed, and depending on your printer and the paper you choose, may be of the nearly same quality and appearance as the original hard cover book. ========================================================================= QUICK START ========================================================================= 1. Insert the CD in your CD-ROM Drive. 2. If you already have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer, skip to the next step. Otherwise, from your browser, visit http://get.adobe.com/reader/ to download and install the latest version of Acrobat Reader. I am no longer distributing Acrobat Reader on the CD. 3. Using Explorer, you should now be able to show the folder tree on the CD. Double click on one of the pdf files and it should launch Acrobat Reader automatically. 4. For better performance, you may want to copy either the "onefile" folder, or the "chapters" folder to your hard drive. ========================================================================= SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS ========================================================================= 1. Adobe Acrobat Reader. 2. File size: For optimum performance, I recommend copying the entire "onefile" folder or the "chapters" folder to your hard drive. This will consume about 32 megabytes of hard drive space, whichever you choose. If you copy both, it will consume a little over 63 megabytes. ========================================================================= WHAT'S ON THIS CD? ========================================================================= 1. The book MY INGRAM FAMILY, 1651-1925 in two versions. Both versions are the same, except the one in the folder "chapters" has been split into smaller, more manageable files. The files are in Adobe Acrobat pdf format, and can only be viewed, searched, or printed using Adobe Acrobat Reader. Folder Contents ------------------------------------------------------------------------- onefile book.pdf is the single file version of the book chapters version of the book consisting of six seperate pdf files -intro.pdf is the book cover, table of contents, title pages and introduction -one.pdf is the first chapter - Virginia -two.pdf is the second chapter - Kentucky -three.pdf is the third chapter - Missouri -four.pdf is the fourth chapter - Montana -indexes.pdf includes the index for the entire book 2. This readme.txt file. ========================================================================= PRINTING YOUR OWN PAGES ========================================================================= To print one of the pages using Adobe Acrobat Reader, merely select File, Print, and indicate which pages you want printed. A note about paper. To get the best quality printing, I recommend using the highest quality, bright white paper you can afford. If you are curious, I used Hammermill LaserPRINT 24# paper for the hard copy of the book. ========================================================================= HOW TO GET ADDITIONAL COPIES ========================================================================= Additional copies of either the CD-ROM or hard copy of the book can be obtained from me.
