Any damage directly or indirectly caused by the use/misuse of ChLib is the sole responsibility of the user her/himself. In other words: ChLib never formatted my harddisk, nor killed my cat, so I suppose it won't cause any damage to your system either, but, just in case, do not blame me if something nasty happens. ú ù ú ù ÄÅÄ ù ú ÛÛ LEGAL STUFF ù ÛÛ ú ÛÛÛÛÛÛ²²²²²²²±±±±±±°°°°°° ChLib Official Browser is a copyrighted freeware: it means that you can use it freely, spread it freely, but you CANNOT modify it. ú ù ú ù ÄÅÄ ù ú ÛÛ HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS ù ÛÛ ú ÛÛÛÛÛÛ²²²²²²²±±±±±±°°°°°° CHLIB official browser is a little program, so does not require a big computer to run. You need only a 386, with about 400k of base memory free, and a VGA video card. Someone asked me why I don't release a browser version that works also on 286, or 8086. I think that it is useless, becuase there are very few games listed in ChLib that can be played on a 286. So, even if I release a 286 version, which cheat could you use? ú ù ú ù ÄÅÄ ù ú ÛÛ CONSULTING CHLIB ù ÛÛ ú ÛÛÛÛÛÛ²²²²²²²±±±±±±°°°°°° Once you have started the browser, you will see a list of all the game that have one or more cheats. Look through the list with the [CrsUp], [CrsDwn], [PagUp] and [PagDn] keys. If you want to skip directly to one cheat, press a letter and Chlib will show you the first game whose name starts with that *MOD*| letter; you can also continue typing the second letter, the third, ecc. to skip fastly to the game. Some voices in the list are shown in red: these are the game whose cheats are been modified since the last update. When you have highlighted the game you wish, press [Enter]. A menu will appear with all the categories of tricks of that game. When you have chosen one category, the text of the trick will appear. You can scroll the text with the usual keys. Moreover, you can output the text to a file by pressing the [O] key. The name of the output file is "cheat000.txt". If this file already exists, the name will be "cheat001.txt" and so on. You can go back to the menu by pressing [Esc]. ú ù ú ù ÄÅÄ ù ú ÛÛ KNOWN BUGS ù ÛÛ ú ÛÛÛÛÛÛ²²²²²²²±±±±±±°°°°°° In the moment I release this version, I know that the program is bugged. The first and most important problem is that the VGA mode I use in ChLib (50 rows) doesn't work on some old VGA graphics cards. There are other small bugs, but you should not see any one (they are very very small). ú ù ú ù ÄÅÄ ù ú ÛÛ CONTACTING THE AUTHOR ù ÛÛ ú ÛÛÛÛÛÛ²²²²²²²±±±±±±°°°°°° Name: Giovanni "RàskY" Bajo E-Mail: rasky@shock.nervous.com *MOD*| Fidonet: Giovanni Bajo 2:332/125.33 Snail: Giovanni Bajo Via Allori 37 50127 Firenze (FI) ITALY
