		+	== Installation ==
		+	As of DOSBox 0.74, you may encounter some problems (e.g. freezing) when you run ORIGIN.BAT to install the game from the CD as per the instructions. If this is the case, simply running '''INSTALO.BAT''' in the same directory should work.
		+
		+	You can improve performance and eliminate the need to have the disc mounted during play by copying the contents of the CD to the hard drive:
		+
		+	# Copy the '''CDROM''' directory from the CD into the directory where you installed the game (in this example '''C:\games\sshock''')
		+	# In the install directory, edit the '''CYB.CFG''' file and change the line that reads: <blockquote><tt>cd_data_dir_path D:\cdrom\data</tt></blockquote> to read: <blockquote><tt>cd_data_dir_path C:\games\sshock\cdrom\data</tt></blockquote>
		+	# Also in the install directory, edit the '''CDSHOCK.BAT''' file and change the line that reads: <blockquote><tt>D:\cdrom\cdshock.exe</tt></blockquote> to read: <blockquote><tt>C:\games\sshock\cdrom\cdshock.exe</tt></blockquote>
		+	# If you want to play the original (non-CD) version of the game, you will have to edit '''SSHOCK.BAT''' similarly.
		+
		+	Now you should be able to play sans the CD, and the game won't hitch every time you play a log or email.
