Dear MicroProse Customer,

        Thank you for purchasing Machiavelli the Prince.  This disk contains
the latest update.


HOW TO INSTALL

        To install the update, use the following instructions:

	1)  Place the update disk into the appropriate drive (A: or B:)

	2)  Log onto that drive (A: or B:)

        3)  Type UPDATE [drive] [path]
            For example:  type UPDATE C: MPS\PRINCE  (please note the SPACE
            between the drive and the path - if you have changed the
            default directory of C:\MPS\PRINCE, you must change the above
            path)

	The update will then install itself.


COMPATIBILITY PROBLEMS

Machiavelli may experience compatibility problems with SMARTDRV.EXE write
cache.  If you are experiencing lock-ups during a game, disable SMARTDRV.EXE
write cache.  Consult your manual.

The autosave feature may cause problems in some systems.  If you are
experiencing graphical distortions or lock-ups during the save, disable
the autosave feature.
