Installing :
unzip and run "setupras.exe"

=============================================
IMPORTANT NOTE PLEASE READ BEFORE INSTALLING!
=============================================

During testing, some tester had no problems whatsoever with this excellent
program. However an equal amount of testers had a variety of problems ranging
from minor hiccups during playback... to full system crashes! This appears to
to be a problem with the original too. At this time I am unable to track down
the cause(s) of the incompatability with some people's setups so this is one of
those programs that you install and see if it likes your machine or not!
Please dont send mounds of complaints if it fails on your machine because at this
time there is little I can do about it. I will continue to try and work out what
is happening and should a patch come out from Bitzheads then I will do my best
to ensure it is released through Radium as soon as is possible.

I have therefore decided to release this program because when it does work
properly it is a truly excellent program and one well worth trying out!

=============================================

Thanks to : Krk, Drugstah, CDR, Spelunk and in particular..  Goa + SparkE for 
all their sterling work during the testing phase.

Also a huge personal thanks to Kenbo, Terri, Annie and Mike of Co***tec Inc 
for their help in trying to track down the probs.. and their in depth studies
into various DirectX and DirectX media combinations and the problems they can
cause...... "Keep at it please people!"
