Welcome to Software of the Month Club! TROUBLE-SHOOTING If you encounter problems while launching programs, quitting the START program may solve your problem. Run the program from DOS without the START program will usually remedy most 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. CD-ROM DIRECTORY STRUCTURE The programs on this CD-ROM were grouped into directories by SIG (Special Interest Group). Under each SIG directory you will find a sub-directory for each program.
