Welcome to Software of the Month Club!

TROUBLE-SHOOTING
If you encounter problems while running software from within our installation 
program (START.EXE), quitting the START.EXE program may solve your problems. 
This is especially true when trying to launch game programs.

Some programs will try to write back to the CD-ROM.  Because the CD-ROM is
READ ONLY, you may have to copy the program to your local hard disk prior to 
use.

Windows 3.1x and Windows 95 users
If you are a Windows user, use STARTWIN.EXE 

CD-ROM DIRECTORY STRUCTURE
The programs on this CD-ROM are grouped into directories by SIG (Special
