To examine on a Windows 95 workstation, place the CD label side up in the CD drive.
CDs are still dos based.
The application should open and searching, etc. can begin. Printing and saving searches can be different for each title. The catalog record should have information about the machine requirements and platforms, as well as the software and any available websites that will help out. Generally there is a readme file available too. Whether it is a dos or windows based program exiting should return you to Windows Explorer and the CD may be removed from the machine.
