Installing :

1) Unzip and run 'setupas1.exe'

If you use this release for more than just learning or becoming well informed
about software, then please buy it.

Hint : If you get little audible clicks, change the buffer size in the Retro
control panel. Buffers=96 was just right for me. If you have any other
problems, make sure you have both 'Direct-X' and 'Direct-X Media' installed.
