the wait. This Release includes IE-4 and Outlook Express. Have fun with all
the "working" goodies in this build.
Installation: Unzip to a temp directory and run Setup.exe.
Then Enjoy! IR

News
║ ║
║ Rapture is now bigger, brighter and better. With more suppliers ║
║ and crackers you can guarantee we will be upping the pace. After ║
║ a scary slump (and most members thought rapture was dead) we hit ║
║ back with some good quality releases. Also, after changing oc's ║
║ from ATOMIC to ENDURANCE, you should see our releases being ║
║ couriered to the top sites. We only say goodbye to 1 member of ║
║ our team, Simpson-, and we hope he has a prosperous life in his ║
║ new group. ║

Memphis Official "Beta 1" - This is build 1525 "plus some changes", according to Microsoft. Unarj and run setup. Brought to you by The Lexicon
Bugs[edit | edit source]
Installation[edit | edit source]
Setup has a WINSETUP.BIN that is not recognized by setup at all times and causes setup to crash on most virtualizers except Microsoft Virtual PC, 86Box, VARCem, and some versions of VMware, due to incorrect emulation of the segment limits of the CPU core. To patch this build to run on any virtualizer, use a WINSETUP.BIN from an earlier build or the RTM.
