Quick Installation Instructions The Federal Zone: Cracking the Code of Internal Revenue fourth edition Electronic Version The electronic fourth edition of The Federal Zone consists of three separate MS-DOS logical files: FEDZDOC4.EXE, FEDZTXT4.EXE and FEDZWRI4.EXE. All three files are self-extracting executable programs in compressed format. The file FEDZDOC4.EXE contains all 4th edition MS-WORD formatted files, all of which have a .DOC suffix after self-extraction. The file FEDZTXT4.EXE contains all 4th edition ASCII text files, all of which have a .TXT suffix after self-extraction. The file FEDZWRI4.EXE contains all 4th edition MS-WRITE formatted files, all of which have a .WRI suffix after self-extraction. For quick installation, perform the following three steps: 1. After copying the file FEDZDOC4.EXE to your MS-DOS machine, the separate formatted MS-WORD files in The Federal Zone, fourth edition, can be extracted and decompressed automatically as follows: C:\FEDZONE4.DIR> fedzdoc4.exe 2. After copying the file FEDZTXT4.EXE to your MS-DOS machine, the separate unformatted ASCII files in The Federal Zone, fourth edition, can be extracted and decompressed automatically as follows: C:\FEDZONE4.DIR> fedztxt4.exe 3. After copying the file FEDZWRI4.EXE to your MS-DOS machine, the separate formatted MS-WRITE files in The Federal Zone, fourth edition, can be extracted and decompressed automatically as follows: C:\FEDZONE4.DIR> fedzwri4.exe The above three steps assume that the DOS directory FEDZONE4.DIR has already been created on drive C:.

The fourth edition of The Federal Zone is available in electronic format. Each chapter and each 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. Please maintain this sequence. 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 PUBLISH), 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 fourth edition with the PKZIP utility, execute the following sequence of DOS commands: C> prompt $p$g C:\> mkdir fedzdoc4.dir C:\> cd fedzdoc4.dir C:\FEDZDOC4.DIR> copy b:\*.* /v C:\FEDZDOC4.DIR> pkzip fedzdoc4.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 the files are stored on 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:\FEDZDOC4.DIR> zip2exe fedzdoc4.zip This command writes the file FEDZDOC4.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 FEDZDOC4.EXE to another DOS machine, the separate DOS files in The Federal Zone, fourth edition, can be extracted and decompressed automatically as follows: C:\FEDZONE4.DIR> fedzdoc4.exe 8. The fourth 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 and can be viewed with MS-DOS commands like MORE and EDIT. 9. To compress the ASCII version of the fourth edition with the PKZIP utility, execute the following sequence of DOS commands: C> prompt $p$g C:\> mkdir fedztxt4.dir C:\> cd fedztxt4.dir C:\FEDZTXT4.DIR> copy b:\*.txt /v C:\FEDZTXT4.DIR> pkzip fedztxt4.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 the .TXT files are stored on 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:\FEDZTXT4.DIR> zip2exe fedztxt4.zip This command writes the file FEDZTXT4.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 FEDZTXT4.EXE to another DOS machine, the separate ASCII files in The Federal Zone, fourth edition, can be extracted and decompressed automatically as follows: C:\FEDZONE4.DIR> fedztxt4.exe 12. To concatenate all ASCII files into a single uncompressed ASCII text file, execute the following two DOS commands after step 11: C:\FEDZONE4.DIR> copy *.txt fedzone4.all C:\FEDZONE4.DIR> rename fedzone4.all fedzone4.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 "FEDZONE4.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. 13. The fourth edition is also available in MS-WRITE format. Files in this format have a .WRI suffix. MS-WRITE is in the "Accessories" group of Microsoft WINDOWS. 14. To compress the MS-WRITE version of the fourth edition with the PKZIP utility, execute the following sequence of DOS commands: C> prompt $p$g C:\> mkdir fedzwri4.dir C:\> cd fedzwri4.dir C:\FEDZWRI4.DIR> copy b:\*.wri /v C:\FEDZWRI4.DIR> pkzip fedzwri4.zip *.wri 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 the .WRI files are stored on drive B:. Experienced DOS users are presumed to know how to modify this sequence for their own specific situations. 15. To create a single compressed file that is self-extracting, execute the following after step 14 above: C:\FEDZWRI4.DIR> zip2exe fedzwri4.zip This command writes the file FEDZWRI4.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. 16. After copying the file FEDZWRI4.EXE to another DOS machine, the separate MS-WRITE files in The Federal Zone, fourth edition, can be extracted and decompressed automatically as follows: C:\FEDZONE4.DIR> fedzwri4.exe SHAREWARE POLICY The electronic fourth edition of The Federal Zone is being distributed as computer "shareware".
