INTRODUCTION
This patch file will update your current version of Red Baron to
include a new joystick driver which corrects joystick problems,
primarily, those associated with using a fast computer (i.e. 386/33)
with a game card that does not offer speed calibration.
IMPORTANT!
This version of the patch file will only work with the 5.25" VGA
version of Red Baron. (You are using the 5.25" version if you
installed the program from the 5.25" disks). If you have the 3.5"
VGA version, you need to obtain a copy of the RBVGA3.ZIP patch file.
Since the PATCH.EXE program actually updates the original files with
the specific patch data, it is important that you have the patch
file that corresponds to the version that you are using.
To determine which version you have, check the System Requirements
Label on the Red Baron box sleeve, or check the size of the RB.EXE
file using the DOS DIR command (type: DIR RB.EXE).
If you have the 5.25" VGA version of Red Baron, RB.EXE will contain
297982 bytes.
If you have the 3.5" VGA version of Red Baron, RB.EXE will contain
298014 bytes.
INSTALLATION
To update your original version of Red Baron with the new joystick
code, simply copy the patch files (PATCH.EXE and PATCH.RTP) into the
subdirectory on your hard drive where Red Baron is located. If you
used the Smart Start install program, it will be located in the
\DYNAMIX\BARON subdirectory.
Once you've copied the files there, run the patch program by typing
PATCH. The patch program will update your original version and
announce when it is complete. That's all there is to it. When
complete, the updated .EXE files should now look like:
PS.EXE 271616 1-22-92 2:24p
RB.EXE 299006 1-22-92 12:48p
RUNNING THE PROGRAM
Once you've updated the program, run it exactly how you ran the
original version. No additional commands are necessary.
