The AIC is a standalone application.  AutoDoubler is NOT required
for it to function.  ANY application, CDEV, or INIT compressed with
the AIC will function normally WITHOUT AutoDoubler installed.

An example of a system without AutoDoubler installed:

1.	System is booted
2.	AIC'd app is launched and the copyright dialog appears.
3.	Another AIC'd app is launched and NO copyright notice appears.

Only the FIRST AIC'd application, CDEV, or INIT that launches will
produce the copyright notice.
