Installation Instructions
----------------------------------------------------
This patch should install itself using the WinZip
self-extractor. You need only tell the WinZip self-
extractor where to find SpecOps. For most people,
this is
c:\Program Files\Zombie\SpecOps
(if you installed the game to a different directory,
give WinZip the directory into which you installed
SpecOps).
The patch contains 10 files:
level1.zsb
level2.zsb
level3.zsb
level4.zsb
level5.zsb
startup.zsb
endMission.zsb
spec3DFX.exe
specRW.exe
readme03.txt
These should all be dated 5/15.

NVidia, and Rendition cards that are OpenGL compatible.
Aureal is porting SPEC OPS to support their A3D standard
for 3D audio (Monster 3D Soundcards).
Look for it on the web soon!

Troubleshooting
----------------------------------------------------
HEADER/BINARY VERSION CONFLICT
If this error appears at any time during play,
your SpecOps installation has a mixture of old
and new files.
Go to your SpecOps directory and check the
dates for the following files:
level1.zsb
level2.zsb
level3.zsb
level4.zsb
level5.zsb
startup.zsb
endMission.zsb
spec3DFX.exe
specRW.exe
All should have the same dates. If any are dated
differently, it pre-dates the current patch.
Hand-delete these 9 files from your
SpecOps folder and re-install the patch. After
patching, verify that all 9 files have been
copied into the SpecOps folder and have similar
dates.
If the error persists, email markk@zombie.com
(two k's in the address).
