Excavating Occaneechi Town
Archaeology of an Eighteenth-Century Indian Village in North Carolina Edited by R. P. Stephen Davis Jr., Patrick C. Livingood, H. Trawick Ward, and Vincas P. Steponaitis Copyright © 1998 by the University of North Carolina Press. All rights reserved. ISBN 0-8078-6503-6 (cd-rom & booklet).
Installation Options Typical versus Compact Installation. You
will be asked to make this choice during the initial installation.
Typical installation may require as much as 25 MB of hard disk space on
some systems. It is not required or necessary that you choose the
typical installation, but this option does provide the best performance
by moving the most frequently used files to the hard disk. The compact
option saves 6.5 MB of space at installation by waiting to copy files
to the hard disk only when they are needed. For most users, we suggest
the typical installation. See the README.TXT file on the CD-ROM for
more information. A web version of the README.TXT file is also available.
Once all the necessary files have been copied to your hard disk, you
will be prompted to launch the program. The first time you do this, you
will be asked to make several other choices regarding installation
options. Professional versus Instructional Version
Option. The authors of the CD-ROM recognize that, although all the
information recovered in an archaeological excavation has scientific
importance, it may be inappropriate to display or view some of that
information, such as photographs of human bones, in a public or
instructional context. Therefore, we have provided two installation
options. The Professional version provides access to all of the
information contained on the CD-ROM about the site; the Instructional
version provides access to all of the information except for
photographs of human burials. Archaeologists using this CD-ROM as a
scholarly reference may wish to load the Professional version; teachers
using it in a classroom should load the Instructional
version. Color Mode Option. In Windows, it is possible
to employ a variety of graphic modes. These modes describe how many
pixels are displayed on your screen (screen resolution) and how many
colors your screen can display at one time (color depth). This
software was written for a screen resolution of at least 640 x 480
pixels and a color depth of at least 256 colors. We have included a
second set of full-color photographs that exploit the superior display
properties provided by video modes with a color depth of more than 256
colors (e.g., 65,000 or 16.7 million colors). If you are running
Windows at a color depth of less than 256 colors, the installation
program will notify you. You must then change your color depth before
you can run the software. For more information, see the section labeled
"Changing Windows Graphics Modes" in the README.TXT file on the
CD-ROM. If you are running at a color depth of 256 colors, you
have two options at installation: (1) you can set the software to
assume that you will always be running at 256 colors; or (2) you can
set the software to check every time you start it to see if you are
running with more colors and, if so, to give you the option of using
them. If you are running at a color depth of greater than 256
colors, you have three options: (1) you can have the software assume
that you will always be running in this high-color mode; (2) you can
have the software always use just 256 colors (the quality of the
photographs will not be as high, but the photographs will load and
display faster); or (3) you can have the software give you a choice
every time you run it. Screen Resolution Option. This
software was written to support a graphics mode of 640 x 480 pixels.
This is the lowest resolution in standard Windows operations and the
most common mode for the majority of users. The report is not designed
to display in larger dimensions. If you run Windows in a higher
resolution mode (e.g., 800 x 600 pixels or 1028 x 768 pixels), the
report will appear smaller on your screen. If you are running at
these higher resolutions, the software will notify you. Your only
option is to change Windows to a different graphics resolution. For
more information, see the section labeled "Changing Windows Graphics
Modes" in the README.TXT file on the CD-ROM or see below.
Font Size Option. If you are running Windows 3.1, your video mode
can be set to display small or large fonts. This software has been
designed to run under the small fonts option, which is the case for
software running on the overwhelming majority of computers using
Windows. If you are running in a large fonts mode the setup program
will warn you. You must change the video mode to small fonts in order
to use this application. For more information, see the section labeled
"Changing Windows Graphics Modes" in the README.TXT file on the CD-ROM
or see below. Go to the System
Requirements. For more complete information about all aspects
of the CD-ROM, check out the web version of the README.TXT file from the
CD-ROM.
