SSTV/!PSinstall/PscanFiles/!Help

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Pscan - SSTV via the serial port of the Acorn Risc PC - Help file
-----------------------------------------------------------------

As you are reading this you have probably installed Pscan correctly. Versionsof Pscan from 3.0 onwards include an installation/upgrade program called !PSinstall. If you have somehow found this help file without running the installation program, I suggest you run it before going any further.

Once Pscan is installed on to a hard drive, double-click on the !Pscan
application to install it on the icon bar. The complete user manual can be
accessed by choosing the Manual option from the Pscan icon bar menu. When
Pscan is running, the manual can also be read by pressing H (for "help")
when the Pscan tool bar is displayed.

If you have not used Pscan before, please read the manual before going any
further. Contact the author if you have any problems or queries.
