DISCLAIMER
(The legal stuff I have been advised I should put in)

This CD-ROM has been tested extensively before release. However Michael Todd Computers & Communications cannot be held responsible for any damage to your system caused directly or indirectly by any software on the CD-ROM, corrupted files, faulty CD-ROM media or viruses (or similar programs such as Trojan horses or Worms).

Third party programs such as demos, freeware and shareware are supplied "as-is" and Michael Todd Computers & Communications does not have the resources to provide support for these programs. Any questions you have should be directed to the vendors of these programs.

VIRUSES

The CD and machines used for producing the CDs are scanned for viruses (viri?). However, we recommended that you check each CD-ROM for viruses. If you wish to stop the CD's autorun file from starting, so you can check for viruses before launching it, then hold the shift key down while inserting the CD into your PC (this will work only for Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP etc). It is entirely possible that if you are reading this, the CD-ROM has already started from the autorun file.

--------------------------------------

CRACKED CD CASES OR ADDITIONAL CASES

The CD case is provided to protect the CD from damage during transit. Occasionally the CD cases will get scratched, cracked or broken in transit - this includes replacement CDs sent in the mail. We are unable to replace cracked CD cases (we do replace faulty CDs - see below). If you want additional or pristine cases, then they are available from most computer, electronic or record (starting to show my age) stores for approximately $0.50-2.00, depending on your requirements.

DAMAGED CDs

If your CD case is broken please see above. If your CD arrived damaged, please e-mail sales@arcompanion.com with a description of the damage and your contact information. Or you can phone Michael on 0407 089 308.

Replacement CDs may be sent with alternative packaging to the CD case.

PLEASE NOTE:
If a CD does not work in your PC, please check the surface of the CD for dust, scratches, cracks or other imperfections. Also, if possible, test the CD in another PC to see whether the problem is on your PC or you have a faulty CD.

HOW THE CD-ROM WORKS

AUTOMATICALLY LAUNCHES YOUR BROWSER
This CD was designed in the form of an offline, interactive Web site, and so runs entirely from a Web browser.

You do NOT have to be connected to the Internet to access the contents of this CD.
This CD contains links to various web sites and sources of information which you can access if you do have internet access.

For Windows 95, 98, Me and NT users, simply insert the CD-ROM into its drive, and the CD should launch your default Web browser immediately, loading up the main page to take you through the CD.
You can also double click on index.htm in the root of the CD to access the same page from within your browser.

For Linux and Windows 3.1 users (or those who have switched off the "autorun" feature in Windows 95/98/NT), simply insert the CD into the CD drive and launch your Web browser. From the browser menu, choose File, Open..., and open the file index.htm in the root of the CD-ROM.

ERROR MESSAGES FROM YOUR BROWSER
If you receive an error message from your Web browser when trying to access a Web site, please make sure your modem is switched on and you are connected to the Internet.

DON'T HAVE A BROWSER?
If you do not have a Web browser, go to the /browsers directory of the CD-ROM. There you will find a range of browsers to suit Windows 3.1/95/98/Me/NT Operating systems. Install the Web browser of your choice. You can choose from MS Internet Explorer or Netscape.

If you simply wish to skip the Web browser interface (recommended for advanced users only), then you can still access all of the software on the CD-ROM. Simply copy the zipped or executable programs to your hard drive directly from the CD. However, please note that the CD may contain important information relating to a program such as a password, installation instructions or other crucial details.

DOWNLOADING FILES
Some installation programs must be run from directly from the CD, such as Internet Explorer. In these cases you need to select "Run this program from its current location", then select "Yes" on the Security Warning screen to load the program.

--------------------------------------

SPECIAL NOTES FOR USERS OF INTERNET EXPLORER 2 AND NETSCAPE 2

If you use version 2 of either Netscape or Internet Explorer, some of the images on the CD and frames may not display correctly (the opening screen may be blank). In order to get the most from the CD, it is strongly recommended that you use version 3 or later of these programs. This CD contains Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 and Netscape 6. If you wish to install any of the browsers on this CD, go to the Browsers folder and open Browsers.htm for further instructions.
