Welcome to the APC October 2000 DVD

You don't need to be connected to the Internet to use this DVD or access the software included -- it is completely self-contained -- but we have provided links to Web sites where useful for those users with Internet connections.

Before using this DVD

Please read the following Terms of Use. If you agree with the terms you may continue to use the DVD, and this use will constitute your acceptance of the conditions of use stated here. If you do not agree with all of the terms, you may not continue to use the DVD and you should return the DVD and magazine to us for a refund.

Terms of Use

Before installing any software from the DVD

You should virus check the DVD using a virus scanner complete with the latest antivirus data updates. While we do virus check the DVD before printing and remove any suspect files, new viruses are being discovered all the time and we make no representation that this DVD is virus-free. 

As with any software available on the Web, you should carefully read the licensing agreements and honour any evaluation or shareware terms specified. You should also read all instructions and README files that come with the software. We provide these instructions and files exactly as they are supplied by the software developer and do not adopt them or make any representation as to their accuracy. 
Back up any important system and data files. It is not advisable that the software contained on this DVD be installed on production machines or any machines used for business activities. 

Conditions of use

We've provided the software on this disc for the convenience of our readers — to save you the effort of locating and downloading the material on this disc yourself. The software on this DVD is provided as is, in the hope that it will be useful to you. We make no express or implied warranties about any part of the software, except where we are required by law to do so. 

If you're interested in a product or service we review or refer to, you should contact the company that distributes or supports it for more information or for any problems you have with it. 

While we've taken every care to ensure that the software provided is useful and works, we can't and do not accept responsibility or liability for any of the products included except where we are required by law to do so. For support you should contact distributors or developers directly. You should be aware that the software may be in trial or beta form and may not work on all system configurations.
