Here's the readme (with directory listing) on the CD:
Dark Basic Demo CD
------------------
This CD has been compiled to show you what's possible with Dark Basic. The games and demos
have all been created by existing Dark Basic users. Some have been kind enough to share
their source code. This will allow you to study what they've done to create their programs.
We hope you enjoy playing the demos and learn a lot from them.
Use windows Explorer to find the .exe files.
Just double click on these to either install or run directly.
Please note that some demos may need to be run from your hard disk. This is because they'll
try to create a config file. You can tell which ones they are because they're zipped up with
PKZip. If you don't have PKZip you'll find a trail version in the Utilities directory.
To run source code, either double click on the .dba files, or from Dark Basic load them in
using the DB program editor.
We've also added some essential 3rd party programs to the CD. These will help you during the
game making process. Use Explorer to look inside the "Utilities" directory to view these
applications.
