YOUR OPTIONS ON HOW TO RUN SOFTWAREVAULT
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
The rich contents of this SoftwareVAULT CD-ROM are accessed by running
the program called the SoftwareVAULT Librarian, which is available on the
CD-ROM in both a DOS version (SVL) and a Windows version (SVLWIN). Though
you can easily run the Librarian directly from the CD-ROM, you may prefer
to run it from your hard drive. Running the Librarian from your hard drive
may result in better overall performance and doing so allows you to save
user-specific configuration data for use in subsequent sessions.

NOTE:
A CD-ROM management door program for bulletin board sysops,
"ROMDSV", was included as freeware on some earlier production runs
of The SoftwareVAULT CD-ROMs. It was distributed under license from
its author, but is no longer being distributed due to a high incidence
of technical support problems. There are a number of such shareware
door programs available, and sysops are encouraged to use the one of
their choice.
TECHNICAL NOTE:
Under certain network configurations, you may experience a General
Protection Fault issued by Windows and caused by BWCC.DLL. This fault
is sometimes caused by reading this text file, closing notepad and
then clicking on the "GO" button. If this conditions occurs, click on
the "CLOSE" button. This will cause you to exit the setup program
and return to the Windows program manager. Rerun "SETUP" from the SVL
directory on the CD-ROM and click on "GO" without first reading that
file.
