This is, functionally, the same VC50.ZIP as the original distribution,
dated 15 November 1992. Program files have been re-made, with the aim
of security -- the more different versions of VC, the better.

Several documents have been updated, specifically those dealing with 
ordering and registering VC. These provide details of more agents for 
Victor Charlie and other BSA products, notably in North America. The 
VCSITE.DOC, concerning site licenses and multi-user versions of VC, has 
been substantially revised.

Sysops and shareware distributors, please note the following:
   The shareware evaluation edition of Victor Charlie may NOT be 
   distributed by electronic or other means in the following countries 
   or areas without permission in writing from Bangkok Security 
   Associates:
       Australia    New Zealand    France    Thailand

                        ===0===0===0===0===0===

Because of the manner in which Victor Charlie works, it cannot simply be 
"fired up" for a quick look. It must be installed AND initialized. 
Please see the document INSTALL.DOC for a fast way to do this.

                        ===0===0===0===0===0===

VC is distributed with NO executable programs. No integral VC program 
will run unless initialized. Executable programs for VC will be made 
automatically during installation and/or initialization. (A side effect 
of this is that VC50 should NEVER fail a BBS upload scan.)

The three VC utilities, GET, BOOTFIX, and PTRESQ may be used without 
initialization by copying them to executable form. All three are .COM 
programs, and can be made to run with a copy process:
         COPY GET GET.COM
         COPY BOOTFIX BOOTFIX.COM
         COPY PTRESQ PTRESQ.COM
Please do not use these programs before you read the documentation.

                        ===0===0===0===0===0===

A list of the files in this VC shareware can be found in PACKING.LST.

All other documentation has a .DOC file extension. This includes VC.DOC, 
the main document for the program; INSTALL.DOC (see above); TECHREF.DOC 
for advanced program usage, and VCSITE.DOC and ORDER.DOC to help you if 
you decide to purchase a license for Victor Charlie.
