(r) About this CD-ROM

  On this CD-ROM you'll find this entire Antenna Book, including text, drawings, tables, illustrations and photographs. Using the industry-standard Adobe Reader (included), you can view and print the text of the book, zoom in and out on pages, and copy selected parts of pages to the clipboard. A powerful search engine--Acrobat Search--helps you find topics of interest. 

INSTALLING YOUR ARRL ANTENNA BOOK CD
Windows
1. Close any open applications and insert the CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. (Note: If your system supports "CD-ROM Insert Notification," the ARRL Antenna Book CD should automatically run the installation program when inserted.)
2. Select Run from the Windows Start menu.
3. Type d:\setup (where d: is the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive; if the CD-ROM is a different drive on your system, type the appropriate letter) and press Enter.
4.  Follow the instructions to install the CD-ROM files on your system. During installation, you will be asked whether you want the Adobe Reader program to be installed as well.

Macintosh
  To install the CD files on the Mac, open the CD-ROM (AntBk21Ed) icon then click to go into the "Program Files" folder.  Drag the "The ARRL Antenna Book" folder icon to your hard drive.
  To use the search capability in the Antenna Book CD you will need to have Adobe Reader installed.  Mac Preview can not access all of the features of the PDF files. If you need to install the Adobe Reader 7 program, it is located in the top level folder of the CD.  Double click on the file "Adobe_Reader_MAC_807.dmg" to open up the disk image.  Then double click on the Adobe Reader Installer icon to launch the installer.  After this is installed you will be able to open the Antenna Book files in Adobe Reader to view them.
