SUMMARY
=======

It has been reported that RAM Doubler, a program that simulates virtual memory,
manufactured by Connectix Corporation, can cause random hanging, and other
problems, when running it in conjunction with The Ultimate Haunted House.

MORE INFORMATION

One specific configuration where this has been reported is when using a Mac
IIsi, a NEC 3FGx, NEC CD-ROM drive, RasterOps Colorboard 264, and System 7.5,
