STUFF YOU SHOULD KNOW *BEFORE* PAYING ME ANYTHING

First, please ensure that the shareware version of  VSMC  works  on
your system. Both the shareware and the commercial versions of VSMC
now utilize 386+ assembly (however, a 286 version is  still  avail-
able for special request). VSMC requires 550K of free  conventional
memory,  but  may use up to 2MB of extended memory if it is present
for use as a demand page buffer (for greatly improved performance).

The commercial version of VSMC utilizes  a  proprietary  VSMC  O/S.
This operating system (along with VSMC) is stored entirely on disk,
and does  not require any special programs  or device drivers to be
loaded  onto  your  harddrive.  However,  to  properly work on your
system, VSMC O/S requires  some  drivers of its own. VSMC currently
is shipped with  support  for DOS partitions. If, however, you wish
to add support  for  your  CD-ROM  or  ZIP  drive, you can download
specialized drivers from the VSMC  WWW  site   (These drivers, like
the VSMC O/S,  will be stored on the VSMC disk). If the drivers for
your storage device are not available for downloading, you can send
email to The Brain,  and  the required patch file will be placed on
the VSMC WWW page, or emailed to you directly.

(Note! Users of NTFS  will  soon  be  able  to  access  their  NTFS
partitions under VSMC. However, it is not a high-priority  at  this

VSMC comes with a Logitech mouse driver. This driver has been found
to work with many mice, including popular brands such as Microsoft,
and  the less popular brands, such as Champ. If your mouse does not
work  with  the Logitech driver, a different driver can be obtained
from the support site.

Because the entire operating system is located  on  the  VSMC  disk
(not your harddrive) your system must be configured  to  boot  from
your 3½" disk drive. If this is not the case, you can either forget
about VSMC, or swap the drives from  your  CMOS  configuration  (on
some new BIOSes), or swap the physical  connections to your A and B
drives. (5¼" disk support may be available if I get enough requests
for such a thing)

The VSMC disk is copyprotected. Neither software nor hardware  disk
duplicators will be able to successfully copy the  commercial  VSMC
diskette (and that includes even the best raw-copy utilities).  Any
and all  attempts to illegally duplicate VSMC will be  dealt  with,
as VSMC is protected by the U.S.C.A  and  the  Berne  International
copyright acts and laws.

DAMAGED DISKS AND MEDIA REPLACEMENT

If your VSMC disk becomes damaged or otherwise  unusable,  and  all
attempts to fix it (ie: by downloading the  VSMC  RESET  file  from
the VSMC WWW support page) fail, a replacement disk can be obtained
by sending the damaged disk and the replacement fee  of  $4.50 (US)
(covers return shipping & handling)  to  The Brain.  (An additional
$5 (US) is required for shipments out of North America)

RETURNS AND REFUNDS

If the commercial version of VSMC fails to work on your system, you
may return it for a full refund (less any shipping charges). Simply
return the disk and your reason for returning the  product  to  The
Brain, and you will recieve a  full  refund,  less  the  applicable
shipping charges. This offer is valid only for 14  days  after  the
original shipment of the product.

COMMERCIAL GAMES

Even if you register, I will *still* refuse to send anyone  a  copy
of a commercial game. Do not ask.

PARTIAL PAYMENTS

If you fail to include all necessary funds (US$35 + US$5 if you are
outside North America), the partial funds will be held for  two (2)
weeks to allow you the chance to send the remaining  funds.  If you
still fail to send all necessary funds  after  2  weeks  time,  any
funds you have sent will be returned to your account,  or  will  be
mailed back to you at your mailing  address.  All  liabilities  DDS
incurs will be deducted from these funds before they  are  returned
to you (ie: Shipping costs or bank service charges)

VSMC upgrades come in the form of VSMCUPGR.DAT files obtained  from
the VSMC WWW site or from local bulletin board systems. The upgrade
process requires that the VSMCUPGR.DAT file be present in the  root
directory of your first DOS drive (ie C:\). To perform the upgrade,
boot off the VSMC disk and hold the <SHIFT> key. Select  the  first
option, and the software on the disk will automatically upgrade it-
self. VSMCUPGR.DAT files can be obtained for VSMC  upgrades, new or
updated drivers (for CD-ROMs, NTFS access, etc), or  possibly  even
upgrades to the VSMC Operating System.

NOTE! VSMC comes (by default) with EMS support. If you do not have  EMS,  you
can disable it from 'Emulation Options'. This,  however,  currently  presents
problems for some users (aside from the massive speed  drop).  Therefore,  it
is, at the present time, recommended that people without  at  least  2MB  RAM
refrain from purchasing VSMC until this problem has been rectified.
