Virtual Advanced 1 beta 1
Copyright (C) Roland De Graaf 1995-1996
This document gives installation advice, and should be read
entirely before running INSTALL.EXE to install the software.
As with any "beta test software," you assume the full risk and
responsibility associated with running this program on your
computer. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you BACKUP your system's
data before installing.
Topics Covered:
1. Limited Beta Documentation
2. Installing on System with Existing VBBS Installation
3. Upgrade Offer for VBBS SysOps (Existing Customers)
4. Installing a New BBS
5. Special Offer for New SysOps (New Customers)
6. Official Support Sites
7. VWICK Virtual Windows Internet Connectivity Kit add-on
1. Limited Beta Documentation
The documentation included with this BETA is extremely limited;
please check the Virtual ComTech BBS at 616-399-4818 or the
Virtual ComTech Web Site at http://virtualc.com for new
documentation updates as they become available.
Experienced VBBS SysOps should not have too many problems
understanding the basics of Virtual Advanced, as it has
its roots in VBBS.
2. Installing on System with Existing VBBS Installation
It is STRONGLY URGED that VBBS SysOps DO NOT attempt to
install Virtual Advanced on top of their existing VBBS
installations right away. It is highly recommended that they
install a NEW INSTALLATION on a different drive or directory,
and get aquainted with the new software before trying to
upgrade their actual BBS. Also, do not forget to BACKUP!
3. Upgrade Offer for VBBS SysOps (Existing Customers)
Until March 1, 1996, VBBS SysOps can purchase an unlocking
key for Virtual Advanced ver 1 for the nominal fee of $12.
And thats not all. We'll also include a free unlocking key
to ver 1 of the Virtual Windows Internet Connectivity Kit,
an add-on kit that gives V/A for DOS, or V/A for OS2, live
Internet capabilities. This special expires soon!
Orders can placed by mail (check/money order) or by
BBS (Visa/Mastercard). Orders placed through the Virtual
ComTech International, Inc. BBS at 616-399-4818 or 616-399-8791
can be picked up on the BBS in email, making it possible for
you to get your new unlocking codes quickly and easily.
4. Installing a New BBS
If you are new, and do not have experience with our products,
setting up this particular beta may be somewhat challenging due
to the lack of documentation. You are more then welcome to give
it a try, however, and you should check our BBS and/or Web Site
for an updated beta, an official release, or an updated doc zip.
5. Special Offer for New SysOps (New Customers)
Until March 1, 1996, New Customers can purchase a 2-channel
version of Virtual Advanced ver 1 for a mere $65. That's $14 off
the regular price. And it doesn't stop there, we'll also include a
free unlocking key to ver 1 of the Virtual Windows Internet
Connectivity Kit, and add-on kit that gives V/A for DOS, or
V/A for OS2, live Internet capabilities.
