User Instructions The Federal Zone: Cracking the Code of Internal Revenue third edition Electronic Version 1. The third edition of The Federal Zone is available in electronic format. Each chapter and appendix is a separate MS-DOS logical file. 2. All DOS files were written to floppy disk in the sequence of their appearance in the book. 3. All files were written by Microsoft WORD for DOS, version 5.0B, using an Intel 80386 cpu with MS-DOS version 5.00. 4. Files in this format can be translated by all of Microsoft's word processing packages (e.g. Windows WRITE, WORD FOR WINDOWS, Microsoft PUBLISHER), and by such third-party translation programs as SOFTWARE BRIDGE and WORD-FOR-WORD. Such translations are not yet perfect, however. 5. To compress the entire third edition with the PKZIP utility, execute the following sequence of DOS commands: C> prompt $p$g C:\> mkdir fedzone.dir C:\> cd fedzone.dir C:\FEDZONE.DIR> copy b:\*.* /v C:\FEDZONE.DIR> pkzip fedzone.zip *.doc readme.txt This sequence assumes that your current logical drive is drive C: and that the PKZIP command is stored in a directory that is in your PATH statement. This sequence also assumes that your 3.5" floppy drive is drive B:. Experienced DOS users are presumed to know how to modify this sequence for their own specific situations. 6. To create a single compressed file that is self-extracting, execute the following after step 5 above: C:\FEDZONE.DIR> zip2exe fedzone.zip This command writes the file FEDZONE.EXE, which can then be copied to other DOS machines which do not support the PKUNZIP decompression utility. If DOS users have the PKZIP utility, they are presumed to have the ZIP2EXE utility also. 7. After copying the file FEDZONE.EXE to another DOS machine, the separate DOS files in The Federal Zone, third edition, can be extracted and decompressed automatically as follows: C:\REMOTE.DIR> fedzone.exe 8. The third edition is also available in plain ASCII format, without any special character formatting (e.g., underlines, bold, or italics). Files in this format have a ".TXT" suffix. 9. To compress the ASCII version of the third edition with the PKZIP utility, execute the following sequence of DOS commands: C> prompt $p$g C:\> mkdir fedztext.dir C:\> cd fedztext.dir C:\FEDZTEXT.DIR> copy b:\*.txt /v C:\FEDZTEXT.DIR> pkzip fedztext.zip *.txt This sequence assumes that your current logical drive is drive C: and that the PKZIP command is stored in a directory that is in your PATH statement. This sequence also assumes that your 3.5" floppy drive is drive B:. Experienced DOS users are presumed to know how to modify this sequence for their own specific situations. 10. To create a single compressed file that is self-extracting, execute the following after step 9 above: C:\FEDZTEXT.DIR> zip2exe fedztext.zip This command writes the file FEDZTEXT.EXE, which can then be copied to other DOS machines which do not support the PKUNZIP decompression utility. If DOS users have the PKZIP utility, they are presumed to have the ZIP2EXE utility also. 11. After copying the file FEDZTEXT.EXE to another DOS machine, the separate ASCII files in The Federal Zone, third edition, can be extracted and decompressed automatically as follows: C:\REMOTE.DIR> fedztext.exe 12. To concatenate all ASCII files into a single uncompressed ASCII text file, execute the following two DOS commands after step 11: C:\REMOTE.DIR> copy *.txt fedzone.all C:\REMOTE.DIR> rename fedzone.all fedzone.txt The second command is necessary because the .TXT suffix is used in all text filenames, and the DOS COPY command will not work perfectly if the output file is also an input file. The output file "FEDZONE.TXT" is in a portable format which can be transmitted to all computers, including mainframes, minicomputers, workstations, and network servers. Adjacent pages are separated by a single "page eject" character. SHAREWARE POLICY The electronic third edition of The Federal Zone is being distributed as computer "shareware".
