LIST OF PISTOL DRAWINGS

The file PISTOLS.TXT is recommended reading as a description of the 
various pieces with information about their development. The general 
subject is first discussed, then each pistol is discussed separately, 
including a number of dimensions of the pistol that cannot be 
determined from the drawing.  All the representative lock types are 
drawn.

The basic pistol drawing bears a title of the type of pistol plus 
peripheral sketches of details not visible in the drawing, such as   
side plate, escutcheon, belt hook, etc.  Some show cross sections. 
A second drawing of each pistol is a "clean" version of the same 
drawing of the pistol only, without the peripheral sketches.  We 
prepared these for use as clip art or other uses.  The lock drawings 
are included for much the same purpose.

We tried to give filenames some resemblance to the titles on the drawings.
The filenames start with a number, the lowest being the earliest or most 
primitive pistol.  For example 03ENG164.PCX indicates the third in our 
evolutionary series, the typical English Lock pistol of around 1640.  Some 
of the choices of sequence are arbitrary and arguable. We indicate the 
"clean" or clipart version of the drawing by replacing the last two 
characters of the filename with CL, for example 03ENG1CL.PCX. The same
system is used to identify the lock drawings: 03ENG1LK.PCX for this lock.

NUMERICAL ALPHABETIZED DIRECTORY LISTING

We started our filenames with numbers to make location easier by 
keeping like files together.  This depends on the following 
instruction.  When one enters the DIR command, the computer gives 
a random list of the contents of the applicable directory or drive.  
If the list is long, it just runs through rapidly and stops at the 
last screenful.  To get a directory listing numerically and 
alphabetically, one page at a time, type:
        
        DIR A: |SORT|MORE  and enter

The above assumes you are at a DOS prompt and our diskette is in
Drive A:.  If the diskette is in drive B:, substitute B: for A:.  If 
you have copied the diskette into a directory on your hard drive,  
change into that directory and type the above command leaving out A: 
(or B:).
