STAR LEGION - Version 1.02 Upgrade
==================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO UPDATE YOUR FILES:
-------------------------
1) Insert the update disk into appropriate floppy drive. Type the drive
letter containing the update disk, followed by a colon and {Enter}.
Example A: {Enter}
2) Type: COPY *.* C:\SL (If using a directory other than C:\SL then type
that directory in)
3) Type the SL hard drive letter followed by a colon and press {Enter}.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
* NOTE: For Star Legions Game Help, type HELP, which will display most
commonly asked technical questions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROBLEMS FIXED IN THIS VERSION:
- Lockups when accepting planet surrender. Limited problem happening
only in certain machine setups and depending on game events.
- Phasers that fire outside the FOV (field of view).
- Lockups during door opening sequence before mission briefing. Only happens
on certain machine setups.
- Adds memory check for systems having less than 570K w/PC Speaker or
582K w/Sound Blaster.
- When zone cannot be bombarded (because of status green or yellow), a torp
will fire (one taken from supply) and a hit appears on the city, then the
abort message. Should check and abort before weapon is fired.
- Zone status remaining yellow even after all Krellans are gone from zone
(data says 0 units and 0 firepower). This also caused the "Krellans in zone
- command aborted" when attempting to bombard one of these cities.
- When PltData is up on Orbit Control screen and you press the deselect ships
button, black dots of the orbit erasure appear on the alien picture.
- Also fixes the problem when you bombard a city and extra cities appear
all over the place and the game is messed up.
