                     DRIVESAFE HYPERTEXT - GUI VERSION


  The GUI (graphical user interface) version of the DriveSafe Hypertext
  v1.52 is now distributed in 2 ZIP files DS152G-1.ZIP & DS152G-2.ZIP

  A text based version of this hypertext is also available. Look for the
  files DS152T-1.ZIP & DS152T-2.ZIP.

  Version 1.52g:
    is a minor update to v1.51g publicly released in February 1994,
    corrects a few minor bugs,
    will be replaced by v1.6 in the near future so that changes in 1994
     to road law in Western Australia can be incorporated.


  PLEASE NOTE:
  ------------
  The DriveSafe Hpertext is based on the 3rd edition of the DriveSafe
  Handbook which is printed and published by the Traffic Board of Western
  Australia. This hypertext is not intended to be a replacement for the
  handbook.

  Although the hypertext contains specific references to road law only
  applicable in Western Australia, the general content of the material is
  also consistent with that applied in other Australian states. However all
  Australian users are advised to contact their local driver licensing
  center or authorities for a copy of the driver education publications
  applicable in their state.

  International users are advised that the material presented in this
  hypertext may not be suitable for their specific use. These users should
  also contact their local or regional driver licensing authorities for a
  copy of the relevant driver education publications.


REQUIREMENTS:


   IBM PC or compatible (XT or higher),
  . 640K RAM memory,
   at least 1.2 megabytes of free hard disk space,
   VGA or SVGA video monitor,
   (optional) Microsoft compatible mouse.

  The graphical version of the DriveSafe Hypertext has been designed to
  run on a PC with a colour VGA monitor. It will run on a mono VGA using
  16 shades of grey but should you experience any difficulties with this
  please let us know (see below for contact details).

  The hypertext can also be run from a floppy disk and we have kept it's
  size down so that it can fit on either a 1.2 or 1.44 meg floppy. Please
  note that because of it's graphical nature, the program will run slowly
  when from a floppy disk.
