Introduction
------------
If you purchased the Norton Guides, or if you have a copy of NG_CLONE,
and you use a BBS that runs PCBoard then this is for you!  This is a
database to be used with the Norton Guides that lists and cross-
references all of the commands used by PCBoard version 14.5.  Since
the Norton Guides installs itself as a TSR, this database can be
popped-up right over your favorite communications package, even while
you are on-line.

To Install
----------
Just copy all of the files into your Norton Guides directory or your
communications program directory.  Then, when you run the Norton Guides,
select the "Database" menu under the heading "Options".  You should see
an entry for "PCBoard v.14.5 Command Reference".  Just highlight it
and hit the Enter key.  That's all there is to it.

If you do not have the Norton Guides, there is a clone version (with a
few less features) on many BBS's (including The DEANS OFFICE BBS)
called NG_CLONE.  This program reads Norton Guides databases and can be
run as a stand-alone as well as a TSR.  It is written by J.P. Pedersen.

Notes
-----
I can already see some of you saying to yourselves, "This thing is
gonna be one big RAM hog!".  Not to worry.  The Norton Guides never
uses more than 65k of RAM no matter how big the database.

The descriptions used in this database came from the HELP files
written for PCBoard v.14.5 by Clark Development Co. (for the
most part), and are used here with their permission.  The compilation
and the cross-referencing were provided by yours truly.

If you select the "Reference" item you will get a complete listing of
all commands used by PCBoard.  To the right of the listing you will
see the individual category that conatins the full description of
that command.  The individual category listings (i.e., "Misc.") only
list those commands that fit that particular category.

I might be issuing an update , IF I get any good ideas from those of
you who try this!  Do I want any money?  Are you waiting for the
"beg screen"?  Forget it.  I do this for the fun of it and I wish 
more people did that.  So, if you like this idea and find it useful,
don't send me any money.  Instead, call my BBS, The DEANS OFFICE at
(201) 279-7048 and leave me E-mail with you comments, good OR bad.
That will be my "payment".  Then maybe I'll do an update.  If Clark 
Development gets around to v.15 of PCBoard....then you will see an
update for sure!


The Usual Disclaimer
--------------------
I am not responsible for any use by you of the files contained in
this ZIP (compressed) file.  If it does any damage to your machine,
you really goofed!  Don't blame me...and it's free anyway!  Use it
at your own risk.
