Abstract

This article describes the wide variety of installation standards, conventions and procedures currently maintained by the publishers of CD‐ROMs, and the problems this can cause for the user. It is designed to offer a guide through the pitfalls of CD‐ROM installation, and lists hardware and software requirements for users of IBM PCs and compatibles. It is based on the experience of the author who carried out a survey of CD‐ROMs for the University of Hawaii.
