Thank you for purchasing the Alpha & Omega Disk Version 1.  This disk
is a collection of shareware programs and Christian files.  About 1/3
of its close to 10,000 files are Christian files.  The shareware files
are dated from 1990 on.  The vast majority of these files came from
EXEC-PC.  We cannot guarantee that all of the files are virus free, so
it is up to you (and your users if on a bbs) to check these files with
a virus detection program before running them.  We assume no responsibility
for files that are contaminated.  By using this disk you agree to this
term.  If a virus is found in any file please let us know and we will
delete it from any further releases, as well as notify others.  We also
did our best to keep commercial software from being placed on the disk,
however due to the large number of files this is not always possible.
Any commercial software that is on the disk was not put there intentionally.
Once again if commercial or pirated software is found on the disk please
let us know so we can take care of it.  There are also few if any gif or
any other type of picture files on the disk, and there should be no
x-rated software on the disk.  If there is then it is by accident.

All files on the cdrom disk are broken down into categories in various
sub-directories.  The file CATEGORI.ES lists what these categories are.
Each sub-directory has in it a files.bbs that gives the descriptions for
the files in that directory so it can be used with a bbs program that
uses files.bbs.  We did our best to insure that every file on the disk
has a description, but some may have slipped through.

The vast majority of the files on the disk are in the ZIP format.  However
some of the files are ARJ and LZH.  These are the Christian files we got
from 2 other Christian bbs's, and we did not have the time to weed out dupes
in the time alloted so we re-compressed them using these other two formats.
Future releases of the disk (if there are any) will have these dupes weeded
out.

The cdrom door program CdCom can be found in the HIS990 sub-directory as
CDCOM.ZIP.  This program will allow you to download files (or copy files)
from the cdrom disk and search/read/list by category the files listings for
the disk.  The door can be run either locally or from a bbs software program.
See the cdcom.doc file for more information on this.  The only bbs
specific file the door uses (if being run as a door from a bbs) is the
callinfo.bbs user information file.  Any decent conversion program can make one
from the door information file(s) your bbs creates if you do not run wildcat.

SPECIAL OFFER:

If you have purchased this disk from us you can register the CdCom door
program for only $5.00 (normally $25).  The passkey number you will get
will work with all future versions of the door program.  Just fill out the
REGISTER.DOC file in the cdcom.zip and send it to the address listed in
the file.  Be sure to let us know you purchased the disk from us so we can
check our records and verify the special offer registration price.  This
offer has no time limit.

This disk is our first attempt at making a shareware type of cdrom disk.
If you are wondering why there are so many directories, it is because
in order to keep the cdrom mastering costs down directories need to have
200 files or less in them.  If there are more than 200 files in a directory
the copying time begins to go up.  At $150/hr for this time, you can see why
it is smart to follow this rule.  Unfortunately it makes the disk look a
little messy, and harder to set up on a bbs.  The CdCom door program can
handle the disk no problem however if you want to go this route.

If there is sufficent response with this disk then we will continue to put
out low cost cdrom disks.  We hope you are satisfied with the disk.
