This is a freeware release of the BeOS Pro Edition ver 5.0 CD-ROM files 
from gobesoftware.  They have been divided into seven separate ZIP 
archives for your downloading convenience (GNU.zip, GOBE.zip, 
MACINTOS.zip, PERSONAL.zip, PMAGIC.zip, root.zip, WIN9X.zip).  

Please note that the directory in GNU.zip contains optional files that 
were bundled on the CD-ROM.  They are NOT part of the BeOS installer 
or Operating System, and do NOT have to be downloaded.

The Partition Magic program is used to re-partition an existing PC hard 
drive, so you can dual-boot BeOS along with your existing OS.  
(Dual-booting is offered as a convenience only.  It is preferable to 
erase your hard drive and install BeOS as the only OS if you desire).

-----

root.zip = the Autorun.inf files from the CD-ROM root directory.
GOBE.zip = directory containing the Autorun menu (and bootdisk creator).
PERSONAL.zip = directory containing the installation program.
PMAGIC.zip = directory containing the Partition Magic program.
WIN9X.zip = directory containing the LoadBeOS program for PCs.
