A list member wrote that they had access to the CD-ROM (from their 
library), but didn't own it, and wanted to run the system again. Their 
wish is my command.

You will need a computer with a CD drive. If you don't have a CD drive 
in your computer, buy a USB-connected DVD drive for US$30 or less. When 
you have the drive in or connected to your computer, insert the Virginia 
Woolf CD and be sure that you know the drive letter of the CD.

Under Windows (I'll set up a macOS version sometime in the next few 
days) download this ZIP archive:

https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://mendelson.org/MajorAuthorsRunner.zip__;!!KGKeukY!3rLDf_8v29kj5Lgzz-s881Ls9TrP2i2G_V5_G3Y854dHQXfC7QdbEHMLqXLoU4UrrftIB6M-k4xb_WYV3gB1mnTZyTA00S4DvvM$ 

Drag the Major Authors Runner folder from inside the archive to 
someplace convenient - like your Desktop or user folder. Open the folder 
and run Windows311.exe. (You may not see the extension ".exe" on your 
system.)

When Windows 3.11 opens, double-click the File Manager.

In the row of icons near the top of the File Manager window, 
double-click the icon with the drive letter of your CD-ROM.

In the right-hand pane, double-click "setup".

In the right-hand pane, find "setup.exe" and double-click it.

At every dialog box, press Enter to accept the default settings (or 
click on whatever button is the default). This will take some time, and 
you should continue to press Enter while the setup program installs the 
Borland Database Engine. Ignore the message at the end that says you 
must restart Windows.

Double-click on the newly-installed red icon that says Virginia Woolf, 
and be patient.

Unless I did something wrong, you should be able to print from the 
program to your default Windows printer, though you will need to be 
patient. I can post instructions, if needed, for printing to a PDF file 
instead. You should also be able to hear the recording.

Click on the up arrow at the top right of the application window to make 
the program fill the Windows 3.11 window. This will make it easier to 
read text and look at photographs.

To close down, press Alt-F4 twice until you are prompted to end your 
Windows (3.11) session. This will NOT shut down your Windows 10 or 11 
system.

You will need to keep the CD disc in the drive for this to work.

Again, if you are the legal owner of a copy of the CD, feel free to get 
in touch with me privately for something faster.
