Program description:
 
This diskette contains a segment of the Corbin Handbook of bullet
swaging on computer text files saved in ascii format.  This disk series
contains chapters 1 through 22 of the handbook.  The subject of bullet
swaging is the manufacture of projectiles using high pressure to flow
ductile metals at room temperature into the precise dimensions of a
strong, highly-finished steel die.  The process is discussed both as a
hobby for the firearms enthusiast and as a highly profitable part-time
business venture, supplying handloaders with high quality, special
purpose bullets.  This two-disk set is handy for the quick reference of
words or phrases by using the utility and batch files included on the
disks.  In order to use the batch files, you need to have the MS-DOS
"FIND.EXE" command either in the current path (using DOS 2.1+) or copied
onto the disks.  There is room on the disk for this command.  "FIND.EXE"
is part of the external commands supplied with the MS-DOS 2.1+ operating
systems.  The author of this handbook is president of the firm
recognized in the firearms industry as being the foremost supplier and
developer of the field of bullet swaging.  In addition to more than 400
articles and papers on the technical aspects of bullet swaging, Mr.
Corbin is the author of seven books which comprise virtually every work
in print today on the subject.  His firm does advanced ballistics design
for military and public safety agencies and provides nearly all of the
experimental equipment used in manufacturing new projectiles for small
arms today.  Software regarding bullet swaging is available from Corbin.
Any text file processor will read the Corbin chapters with color or
monochrome, at least 128 is required.
