Welcome to the Second Quarter 1997 Xilinx AppLINX CD-ROM!

The AppLINX CD-ROM provides Xilinx customers with a complete collection
of support data in electronic form, complementing the Xilinx Development
System CD-ROMs.  AppLINX contains the entire Xilinx web site, FTP site,
data book, development system documentation, and other files, all
gathered for easy access.  You may use the Adobe Acrobat reader,
available on the CD-ROM, to find the information you need, starting
with \APPLINX.PDF.  The Acrobat reader on the CD-ROM includes Search  
capability, and all Acrobat files on the CD have been indexed.
Use Acrobat Search to find documents quickly.

An alternative is to use an HTML browser (not included).  After opening
your HTML browser, open the root HTML file locally:

In Navigator(TM)   select File -> Open File... 
In Explorer(TM)    select File -> Open -> Open File...

and then navigate to the \APPLINX.HTM file on the root of the
AppLINX CD-ROM.
