Hi,

I've received a few e-mails asking if there is a way I can send over
the archive because some members of SCEE don't have SCEA access.
There is even a better way around this because I didn't store the
ZIP archive on SCEA but rather on a section of my publicly-accessible
Yaroze site.  Please go to:

	http://www.netmagic.net/~tenchi/yaroze/download/dmstest.zip

Remember: if you don't have an NTSC TV, you're going to have to
modify at least 1 line in dmsplay.c, function main(), the call to
DMSInit():  change DMS_NTSC to DMS_PAL.  Then recompile (w/ the
makefile).  You'll probably also need to mess with the video settings
in the Init() function, too.

Have fun mutilating your MODs.   :P

- e!
