DOME - Development of Mental Energy (tm)
|
||
PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
|
||
|
||
|
||
Project DOME serves a twofold purpose, one of which is to provide
|
||
interested individuals with general information on the subject of
|
||
parapsychology. The second, and the focus of this program, known
|
||
simply as "DOME", is to enable anyone to utilize the ideas behind ESP
|
||
testing in a specially designed computer environment. This will result
|
||
in, by way of evaluation, a measure of how effective one is at using
|
||
his/her extrasensory perception, or ESP.
|
||
|
||
Please read the following information before using the program. It
|
||
will give you a good idea of what is contained in the distribution
|
||
package, inform you how to make copies for others, and provide you
|
||
with registration information. At the end, you will find a
|
||
questionnaire dealing with personal experiences or feelings on the
|
||
subjects of parapsychology and UFO's.
|
||
|
||
The only requirement to run DOME is DOS 2.1 or above. A color monitor
|
||
is highly recommended. DOME consists of the following 5 files, briefly
|
||
described, which are necessary for proper operation of the program:
|
||
|
||
DOME.EXE - The program itself
|
||
DOME.DAT - Data file to save scores, settings, etc.
|
||
DOME.RES - Reserve initialized (unused) copy of DOME.DAT
|
||
DOME.TXT - Program documentation, accessible on-line
|
||
DOME.PRE - What you are reading now
|
||
|
||
All five files must be present in any hard disk directory or on a
|
||
diskette where you intend to run DOME. Therefore, when making copies,
|
||
always include all files in the process. (Ex: Typing
|
||
COPY C:\ESP\DOME.* A:/V at the DOS prompt would copy all program files
|
||
(DOME.*) from the disk directory C:\ESP to the diskette in drive A:.
|
||
Typing COPY A:DOME.* C:\ESP/V would do the reverse if you were copying
|
||
the program from drive A: to the a directory called C:\ESP.)
|
||
|
||
One feature of DOME is to provide a means of gauging a user's ESP
|
||
performance by way of a personal mail-in evaluation, to be conducted
|
||
on the scores saved by the program. As such, these scores should
|
||
belong exclusively to a single user. It is, therefore, of considerable
|
||
necessity for the user to start off with an empty (initialized)
|
||
DOME.DAT file (one which contains no previous scores saved earlier).
|
||
To check this, you must view the scores within the program. (Select
|
||
Scores then View on the program menu.) If no scores show in the high
|
||
score window, then the file is empty and ready to accept scores. If,
|
||
on the other hand, scores are present, the file DOME.DAT then must be
|
||
emptied - replaced, actually - by overwriting it with the reserve copy
|
||
provided. To do this, type COPY DOME.RES DOME.DAT/V at the DOS prompt.
|
||
This will not only produce a new initialized DOME.DAT file, but will
|
||
leave the reserve copy intact. (Do not simply rename the DOME.RES
|
||
file; use the Copy command as indicated, because the reserve file will
|
||
be required whenever you may want to start over anew.)
|
||
|
||
|
||
If several users would like to save their scores on a single computer,
|
||
then it will be necessary to have all five program files in each of
|
||
separate directories on a hard drive, one directory per user. On a
|
||
floppy drive, each user could have their own diskette (or separate
|
||
directories on a single diskette).
|
||
|
||
The program is very easy to run; simply start by typing DOME <Enter>
|
||
at the DOS prompt. After being met by the intro screens, you will
|
||
be in the program environment. Press "I" for Info on the program menu
|
||
and then "F1" to display the User Guide, which you can also print by
|
||
typing TYPE DOME.TXT >LPT1 at the DOS prompt.
|
||
|
||
On the following pages you will find a copy of the registration form
|
||
and an optional parapsychology questionnaire which you may choose to
|
||
mail at the same time. The two may be printed out together within DOME
|
||
by choosing Info on the menu and then Registration (F3). When
|
||
answering the questionnaire, please be as straightforward and honest
|
||
as possible, for the information you are providing is valuable in
|
||
assessing what experiences people are or are not having regarding
|
||
these kinds of phenomena and the how the public generally feels about
|
||
them. Attach as much additional paper as you need to fully answer the
|
||
questions. If you want to provide comments or details regarding any
|
||
other matter or personal experience having to do with parapsychology,
|
||
then you are encouraged to do so.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
A NOTE TO INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT A PRINTER
|
||
When you are ready to send us your scores, just send us your name and
|
||
address, and a disk containing a copy of the DOME.DAT file (with scores
|
||
saved therein) and we will print out what we need to do the rest.

|
||
|
||
|
||

|
||
are still being handled in this manner today?
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
16. If you are generally skeptical about parapsychology and UFO's, how
|
||
do you feel reports dealing with such issues can be explained?
|
||
|
||
