***** LAST MINUTE UPDATE INFORMATION *****

         *****
             An additional video mode has been added to TERMINUS. Users
         with IBM compatible CGA displays cards having a monochrome
         green, amber  etc. video display device may wish to switch the
         window background colors off. Start TERMINUS by adding a
         parameter at the DOS command line as follows:

                           A> VTEC12.EXE cga255

         This parameter is case sensitive(use lower case letters). The
         parameter will NOT disable mouse operation. IBM MDA and IBM CGA
         compatibility is auto-detected. The cga255 parameter will not
         be needed if you have IBM MDA compatibility. Terminus is
         also compatible with the AT&T 6300 CGA Double Scan video. Use
         the cga255 parameter if you have a green monochrome monitor.

              Version 1.2 has TWO HELP keys, F10 which is still displayed
         in the lower function menu bar and F1. Each key produces the same
         result. This addition was made for new users who are normally
         familiar with pressing F1 for HELP in certain other programs.

              THE VIRUS TERMINUS(c) achieves optimum performance when it is
         installed and run from a hard drive. However, it is best to run the
         VIRUS TERMINUS from a floppy if your computer system is known to be
         infected. THE VIRUS TERMINUS(c), SCAN.EXE, CLEAN.EXE and VALIDATE.COM
         will all fit on a 360K floppy provided you follow the installation
         instructions found in the program documentation file VTEC.DOC .
