  Hi!

  ..:: Introduction ::..
  Thank you for spending your valuable download-time on this Diskmag:
  
                   Exploration II: Malevolent Karma.

  We are sure you will enjoy it. If you have any problems with the mag,
  send a message to postmaster@explizit.org. He can help :)

  ..:: Exploration needs ::..
  Exploration 2 will need about 500 kb of free DOS memory, and 2 MB of
  free EMS/XMS (less if you have a GUS). GUS people should also have at
  least 512 kb of RAM installed on the GUS.

  Exploration will play music thru GUS, SB/Pro/16, PAS, WSS and compatibles,
  through the MIDAS Sound System. When ran the first time, Exploration will
  ask you what soundcard you have installed. When you enter the information,
  it will be stored in EXPLORE.CFG. Delete this file when your configuration
  changes. When you installed Malevolent Karma on an SB, but bought a GUS
  later, kill the EXPLORE.CFG file.

  On startup, Exploration plays "Reactivate". You can change the choon
  with F1/F2/F3 keys.

  Exploration will work fine with any standard VESA card. If you do
  encounter problems, try loading UNIVBE.EXE. You probably have this driver
  already somewhere on your harddisk. If not, download it at a local board.
  We've tested this mag on standard S3,Cirrus and ET4000 cards (isa,vlb,pci)
  and it works like a charm.

  Exploration runs under Windows 95!! If you have any problems (also for
  DOS users) simply remove all crap from config and autoexec. You can also
  try running with the /nosound option, but it should work now really :)
  You don't need an XMS/EMS driver (Himem.sys/Emm386.exe), but if you have
  one, it's fine too. You do need the Blaster/Ultrasnd settings. To enjoy
  Exploration 2 to the max a mouse driver should be loaded too.

  ..:: Dutch Music Groups ::..
  As you can see, we have included a list with all Dutch music groups and
  their WHQs. If you are not listed, please leave us a msg on the net or
  on the Explizit WHQ, listed in explizit.nfo.

  You can also send us your group addie or board addie. Any scene board
  syzo's: send your bannerfile (you know the thing you stamp on ZIPs) to us!
  We will include your BBS advertisment in the next version. Groups can also
  submit addies for new members/distro's etc.

  To be short, exploration alwayz needs lots of stuff to publish. You can
  submit your articles all year round.

  ..:: Closing ::..

                                 Have a nice summer,
