NOTE: VCL.ZIP (Nowhere Man's Virus Creation Laboratory v1.00) IS REQUIRED
TO INSTALL V.C.L.; THIS PROGRAM ALONE IS NOT SUFFICIENT. PLEASE FOLLOW
THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.
New INSTALL for V.C.L.
----------------------
This is the new installation program for Nowhere Man's Virus
Creation Laboratory v1.0. The original installation program had a bug
that would cause a system hang whenever you tried to install V.C.L. to
a disk other than the one that INSTALL.EXE exsisted upon. This has been
corrected, and a few other small improvements have been made. If you
have the original .ZIP of V.C.L. v1.0 (you're a sysop, etc.), please
replace the INSTALL.EXE included in the package with this one (use
"PKZIP -k -a VCL.ZIP INSTALL.EXE"). Future versions of V.C.L. will be
shipped with this (or a better) installation program.
Before reinstalling V.C.L., use the DOS SETVER utility to set
the apparent DOS version for V.C.L. to 3.30 ("SETVER VCL.EXE 3.30");
ignore the ridiculous warning that SETVER will give you. You must reboot
for the new SETVER entry to kick in. Then run install...
Thanks to Couch, The Professor, PDP-11, Guido Sanchez, Snake Eyes,
Number Six, Ned, and all of the others around 708 who informed me of this
grevious error. I apologize for any inconvenience, but these bugs just
seem to creep in on you.
Hope you enjoy V.C.L.!
