Notes regarding the use of this software
----------------------------------------
There are some things I'd like to express to anyone who'd use PlayShell.
First I hope you like this software, and find it useful, and enjoyable
to use.
I also hope that at the very least you would keep the software free
from running media that contains cruel intentions, hatred and anything
destructive (at least the obvious ones). To me, such things are really
far from the purpose of the program and it's just a bit painful for
authors like me to know that crafts of ours are being used to things we
really do not like.
I hope that you use this software for your own good (literally) instead
and let it keep you in good spirits. If this program helped you much
and you're happy, you can send me your story. I would as well be truly
happy and glad to hear that.
No flames ok. Cheers.
