				  **WARNING**

If you have an IBM PC AT and you have installed a nonstandard
(16Mhz) crystal DO NOT attempt to install software protected by
Softguard using the normal procedure.  Such products include 
dBase III and other programs which use the installation counter 
technique.

Apparently, the installation procedure is critically dependent
on the clock and will clobber the source diskette during
installation.  The sympton of a damaged diskette is the message 
"unable to run on this machine."  Temporarily reinstall the
12Mhz crystal before installing the software.

Not only will installation be impossible on the AT, but it will also
be impossible on any other machine.  

The exact nature of the damage is unknown to me at this time, but
the effects sure are!  I am not certain that this is the only problem
with Softguard and the AT, so beware.  I understand the Softguard's
"creators" are addressing the problem, but don't count on any 
helpful announcements.
