Encarta 96 Encyclopedia
FTP Site, PSS\US\WINDOWS directory readme.txt


This directory contains self-extracting versions of the Yearbook 
Builder files for the North American English version of Encarta 
Encyclopedia.


Some users have reported recurring problems downloading and 
integrating the Yearbook Builder files for Encarta 96 
Encyclopedia. On some computer configurations, the .eyb files 
are getting corrupted during the download process, and Encarta 
cannot successfully integrate the files. The corrupt files are 
usually the same size as the originals, but portions of the files
differ. 

We are working to isolate the exact cause of the problem. In the 
interim, we have determined that most users can successfully 
download the files in the form of self-extracting zip files 
instead of .eyb files. Therefore, we are making the files available 
in that form, for both the North American English (for the United States and 
Canada) and World English versions of Encarta Encyclopedia.

To download and integrate the files:
1. Use FTP to download the desired file to your hard disk (e.g. 
   nov95a.exe).
2. Using the Win95 Explorer or the Windows 3.x File Manager,
   double-click on the file icon. This generates a .eyb file 
   from the .exe. 
3. Copy the resulting .eyb file to your Encarta96\Yearbook 
   directory. (This step is optional as long as the .eyb file 
   is on the same disk as the Encarta directory.)
4. Run Encarta Encyclopedia, and click on the Integrate button 
   in the Add New Months screen in the Yearbook Builder feature. 
   If the files are not in the Encarta\Yearbook directory, Encarta 
   will find them on your hard disk.
5. You may then delete the nov95a.exe file (to save disk space).
