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.
