Directions for tablet users
You can run an unzipping utility on your tablet and extract the PDF file, but since there are so many variations of tablet and software apps we suggest that the files are best extracted on a PC first and then just the main PDF copied over to your tablet.
The main PDF file is located in the following folder:
Antique Swords Online\British Military Swords 1786 to 1912
Further precautions to observe
Take care never to delete the contents of these folders. The files required to run the full desktop program are:
autorun.inf
disclaimer.txt
readme.txt
start.exe
start.ini
Resource1\british-military-swords-1786-1912-full.pdf
Resource1\bms.ico
Resource1\cover.jpg
Resource1\ref.txt
Please bear in mind that the downloads contain complete versions of my large full-colour books and as such will require space on your hard drive and sufficient memory to open and navigate.
