+Beyond the Titanic Release Notes - March 2009
+Beyond the Titanic is (c)1988/2009 Apogee Software, Ltd.
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+This game was deleted from Apogee's product line a VERY long time ago, and 
+has been re-released as freeware in March of 2009.  There are a few notes
+you should be aware of with the release.
+
+1) We offer no support in helping to getting this freeware release running.  
+   You are on your own in getting it working.
+
+2) This game does not handle modern computers very well, and as such 
+   requires a third party program to help your computer adapt to the game
+   better.  We recommend a program called DOSBox.  It can be obtained at 
+   the following location (and it's free):  http://www.dosbox.com.
+
+3) The registration information mentioned inside the game no longer exists; 
+   no one lives at the addresses mentioned in the documentation.  Please do
+   not try and contact anyone with this info - if someone is there, it's not
+   us, you'll just be bothering someone who has no idea what you're talking 
+   about.
+
+4) This game is released as freeware.  That's not to be confused with 
+   public domain, abandonware (which is illegal), or releasing something 
+   under the GPL.   This is a freeware release, which means we retain full 
+   legal rights to the title and it's materials.  You are free to play the 
+   game as we've released it, but not free to "do whatever you want with 
+   it", which includes selling it or otherwise using the materials for your
+   own gain.
+
+5) This game was originally released as freeware in March of 1998.  It is
+   being re-released again in March of 2009 to include the source code.  This
+   was discovered when doing research into source code for our old Kroz game.
+
+Enjoy Beyond the Titanic!
