 Auxiliary files for COUNTY BUSINESS PATTERNS, 1987/88 or 1986/87, on CD-ROM

****************************************************************************

The file CBPAUXIL.EXE contains auxiliary files (in compressed form) to allow
the EXTRACT 1.2 software to work with either of the County Business Patterns
(CBP) CD-ROMs issued by the Census Bureau:  the disc containing 1988 and
1987, and the disc with 1986 and 1987 CBP data.

****************************************************************************

** Installing these files for use with EXTRACT **

1.  To install auxiliary files for CBP, create a new directory on your hard
    disk and make this the current directory:

       MD \CBPAUXIL              <ENTER>
       CD \CBPAUXIL              <ENTER>

2.  Uncompress the auxiliary files onto your hard disk:

       a:CBPAUXIL                <ENTER>

    CBPAUXIL.EXE is a "self-extracting" archive containing catalog, data
    dictionary and other auxiliary files which EXTRACT needs in order to
    select and display data from the CBP CD-ROMs.  The uncompressed files
    will require 821 kilobytes on your hard disk.

    If you are also installing auxiliary files for other CD-ROMs, e.g.,
    CCDB, do not place them in the same subdirectory on your hard disk
    as these CBP files.

    If you previously installed the earlier version of CBPAUXIL (for the
    1986/87 disc), the new CBPAUXIL.EXE program will warn you before
    overwriting each of a number of files that already exist on your hard
    disk.  Each time it asks "Overwrite?" type "Y".

****************************************************************************

** Starting EXTRACT to work with CBP files **

1.  Make the directory with EXTRACT.EXE in it the current directory:

       CD \EXTRACT

2.  Start the program.

       EXTRACT                   <ENTER>

3.  You will be asked to specify some drives and directories.  If your
    configuration includes a CD-ROM reader, you must specify a CD-ROM drive
    letter.  This is the letter you assigned when you first installed the
    reader; often, the reader is assigned the letter "L".  You also will be
    asked to specify a "work directory."  This is any directory on your hard
    disk (e.g., \WORK), which EXTRACT uses to store temporary files; be sure
    to create the directory before using it in EXTRACT!

    When the system asks for the location of auxiliary files, specify the
    subdirectory where you installed the auxiliary files for the CD-ROM you
    are using, e.g., C:\CBPAUXIL.

** For More Information **

See the documentation, EXTRACT.DOC, which is created by the program EXTRCT12,
available separately.  If you frequently use more than one CD-ROM with the
EXTRACT program, see the discussion of command-line parameters toward the end
of EXTRACT.DOC.
