				VCVAR

Introduction
------------

VCVAR allows you to examine and change various variables of Volkov Commander :
global variables and left/right panel variables.

The current version is still beta, but a final one will be released if VC 5
comes out, AND if the INT 21h/AH 2Bh feature is still implemented...

If you have any questions/remarks/suggestions/additions, feel free to contact
me :

Dirk.Goyvaerts@uza.uia.ac.be

Use the information below to determine what address you want to examine/change.
2 Batch-files (VCDRIVE.BAT & VCSAMPLE.BAT) are added as an example.
