Quick instructions for The Star Commander

  The Commander requires a 80286 CPU or better, MS-DOS 3.20 or above and  about
500 KBytes of free conventional memory. It is unlikely that you will succeed in
accessing an external Commodore drive when using  the  Commander  under  multi-
tasking systems like OS/2, Linux, Windows, Windows '95 or  Windows NT  and  you
might have to  remove  memory  managers,  device  drivers  and  other  resident
programs, as well, unless you use the XP1541 parallel cable.

  If you have a Pentium or newer 486 motherboard then make sure you switch your
LPT port to SPP in the BIOS setup. Since you can only use the  XP1541  parallel
cable on a bidirectional LPT port, you'll have to buy another  LPT  port  card,
use it in SPP mode and switch the integrated LPT port to EPP or ECP mode.

  Different PC's run with a different speed, therefore you have slow them  down
at a different factor to make them run roughly at the  speed  of  the  external
Commodore drive. The default delay value is 48 for 286, 386  and  486  machines
and 80 for Pentiums. However, if you experience problems while  accessing  your
Commodore drive then try changing this value in the 'Advanced options...' menu.

  If you have problems, please, refer to the documentation  (the  file  SC.DOC)
and the Frequently Asked Questions (the file FAQ.TXT) for  further  information
before contacting me. Test results, bug reports,  wishes  for  enhancements  in
future versions are welcome.  When  sending  a  detailed  bug  report,  please,
indicate the version of the Commander you use, the  configuration  of  your  PC
(CPU type and speed) and the  configuration  of  the  Commander  when  the  bug
occured. If the bug occured only with a certain file, you can  send  it  to  me
uuencoded, as well. Without these I may not be able to help you.

  The Commander is giftware. If you're using it regularly and  find  it  useful
then, please, register it. Read the file REGISTER.TXT for more details.
