Season95 -- MS-DOS Videocrypt smart card emulator
-------------------------------------------------
1995-05-29 -- G - ANTWERP            release note

INTRODUCTION
------------
Most of the information about the videocrypt protocol is found in
season7.doc written by Markus Kuhn. 
This new file (SEASON95.DOC) is ment
to be a container for additional information about the videocrypt
system (cards series 09, 0a and further). Currently I have not
very much additional information yet. 

The file season95.ZIP contains the season95.exe program, which is 
compatible with season71.Exe. This ZIP file contains also the sources
for season95.exe.
SEASON95.EXE currently emulates a BskyB 09-series card, ECM of 
17-05-1995 included.


SKY ECM 17-05-1995
------------------
new nano subcommand for the nano 11h command: subcommand 08

probably means:
  switching between rompage 1 and rompage 2


HELP FOR EUROTICA AND ADULT CHANNEL
-----------------------------------
It seems to me that these 2 channels don't work with any season anymore
since 24/5/1995 (or alike). I'll upgrade SEASON95.exe if someone 
can send me VCLOG information (from real cards) and/or additional hints 
on how to do this. Post to alt.satellite.tv.europe


SEASON95.EXE: usage
-------------------
Syntax: SEASON95 [com] [wax] [wbx] [wcx] [wdx] [wex] [d] [e] [m]

com: which com port

wa thru we are delays, all entered in ms (milliseconds)
wa wait between reset and answer to reset 
wb wait after each outgoing byte 
wc wait between header and first procedure byte 
wd wait between procedure byte and data 
we wait between final data byte and procedure bytes 

d: debug mode on when program is started
e: save time by doing less screen updates
m: OSD suppress

defaults are:
com: 1
wa: 50
wb: 0
wc: 0
wd: 0
we: 0
d: no debug
e: no time saving
m: no OSD suppression

Example: SEASON95 1 wa0 wb0 m
starts season95 using comport 1 with reset delay and byte delay set at
0 milliseconds, and with onscreen display suppressed.

For 486 and faster computers, use wa1. Experimenting with wax thru
wbx may be necessary to get the thing working.


Keyboard commands once the program is running:

F1: help -> page up, down scroll help
q: quit program
d: toggle debug mode on/off
l: write last crypto messages to logfile VCLOG
a: increase reset delay
b: decrease reset delay
+: increase byte delay
-: decrease byte delay
