- Zool Patch Version 1.00 20 April 1993
- ======================= =============

- Background
- ==========
-
- After looking at Zool at the Acorn User show in
- Harrogate, I was disappointed to find out that the
- Archimedes version of the said game didn't have raster/
- copper bars, like the A*i*a version. Presented here is
- a patch that puts this right.
-
-
- The Patch
- =========
-
- The patch must be installed before loading Zool. I
- * strongly * suggest that you save all work on the
- desktop and quit applications before running the patch -
- this is because of the problems associated with the
- patch routine.
-
- The patch routine will not work with all combinations
- of hardware, one side effect we have found is that on
- some machines, the floppy disk drives fail to work
- after loading the patch. If this is the case, you'll
- have to run Zool/ZoolDemo from a hard disk or a RAM
- disk.
-
- To use the patch, Double click !ZoolPatch. Then load Zool
- or the Zool demo, and once in the game, press F9 to
- toggle the copper bars on and off, and press F10 to alter
- the background colours.
-
- Because the copper routine is processor intensive, the
- game may slow down at times - if this is the case, use
- a set of colours that have less colours in them.
-
- THE PATCH CANNOT BE KILLED, so after exiting Zool, or
- the Zool Demo, you are strongly advised to reset your
- machine
-
- A Full version of this patch should be available at a
- later date
