To whom it may concern:
I am sending 20 files that will update the all Macintosh versions of the
game V for Victory to the current 4.01 version.  I am the author of these
games and I hold the copyright to them and to these patches.  I represent
to you that I have the authority to provide these files to the public.
Please place them in a public Macintosh games folder (strategy or wargames
would be best).  If you have any questions or comments, please drop me a
line.  I have never done this before, so be gentle with me =).  In a day or
so, I will upload a demo of my latest program.  Thanks for your help.

** Instructions for patching V for Victory applications to version 4.01 **
April 16, 1994

1) Determine what version of V for Victory you are currently using.
Normally, you would click once on the application and select "Get Info"
from the File menu.  Unfortunately, versions 3.0, 3.11, and 4.0 all tell
you they are version 3.0, so this method doesn't really work for us in all
cases.  Instead, refer to the following chart:

If you bought						then you have
__________						___________
- Utah Beach						v1.0 or v1.1	(Get Info is correct)
- Velikiye Luki				v2.0							(Get Info is correct)
- Market Garden			v3.0							(Get Info may not be correct)
- VicPak									v3.11						(Get Info is not correct)
- Gold Juno Sword		v4.0							(Get Info is not correct)

2) Then determine if you are using the FPU version or the non-FPU version.
Except for Utah Beach 1.0, each release came with an FPU version and a
non-FPU version.  Unless you renamed the application, it will have FPU or
non-FPU in the title.  If you have changed the name of the application,
then the BEST thing to do is to reinstall the original application from the
distribution disk.  Otherwise, you'll just have to guess at which one you
have.

Utah Beach 1.0 owners will be able to decide which they want (FPU or
non-FPU).  FPU stands for Floating Point Unit.  The FPU is a special chip
that speeds up certain math calculations.  All machines with the 68040 have
an FPU and most machines with the 68030 have one.  Machines with 68000,
68010, and 68020 processors probably don't have FPUs but they might.  If
you just don't know if you machine has an FPU, then there is no harm
upgrading your program to a non-FPU version.  The upgraded program will
actually tell you if you have an FPU, so if you want to, you can then
download the FPU patch.

3)  Ok, now you have (hopefully) determined the version of V for Victory
that you have, as well as whether or not you need the FPU version.  To
determine which files you will need to download, refer to the following
chart:

Version							Files to download
______							______________

- 1.0									V4V 1.0->4.01 (FPU) update	-or-  V4V 1.0->4.01 (no FPU) update
													V4V Color 4.01							 			-or-  V4V B&W 4.01
													Utah Beach Color update			 -or-  Utah Beach B&W update
													UB Scenarios 4.01

- 1.1									V4V 1.1->4.01 (FPU) update	-or-  V4V 1.1->4.01 (no FPU) update
													V4V Color 4.01										 -or-  V4V B&W 4.01
													UB Scenarios 4.01

- 2.0									V4V 2.0->4.01 (FPU) update	-or-  V4V 2.0->4.01 (no FPU) update
													V4V Color 4.01										 -or-  V4V B&W 4.01
													VL Scenarios 4.01

- 3.0									V4V 3.0->4.01 (FPU) update	-or-  V4V 3.0->4.01 (no FPU) update
													V4V Color 4.01										 -or-  V4V B&W 4.01
													MG Scenarios 4.01

- 3.11								V4V 3.11->4.01 (FPU) update	-or-  V4V 3.11->4.01 (no FPU) upda=
te
													V4V Color 4.01										   -or-  V4V B&W 4.01
													UB Scenarios 4.01
													VL Scenarios 4.01
													MG Scenarios 4.01

- 4.0									V4V 4.0->4.01 (FPU) update	-or-  V4V 4.0->4.01 (no FPU) update


4)  IMPORTANT: Before you download anything or apply the patches, make
BACKUPS of you the V for Victory files on your hard drive.  This is just in
case some goes wrong, goes wrong, goes wrong=8A

5) Download the appropriate files.  Go get a Coke=81.

6) Double click on the update file.  It will show you the standard file
box.  It wants you to locate the original V for Victory application.  The
patcher is very good at finding it itself (usually), but verify that the
old version has been selected.  Then click on the Update button.  The
updater will make your version into version 4.01 and will erase the old
file.

7) Now throw away your current (old) Victory Color and/Victory B&W files.
(1.0 users don't have these files and should throw NOTHING away yet.)
Double click on the V4V Color 4.01.sea or V4V B&W 4.01.sea file (whichever
one you downloaded.)  Put the expanded file into your V for Victory folder.

8)
- 4.0 users are DONE! and should skip to step 10.
- 1.0 users should skip this part and go to step 9.
- 1.1 users need to locate the folder named Utah Beach that is inside their
V for Victory folder.  Inside THAT folder, is another folder named Utah
Scenarios.  Rename that folder to UB Scenarios and proceed with the
instructions in this section.

Almost done.  Now, inside your V for Victory folder, you should have at
least one other folder, named Utah Beach, Velikiye Luki, or Market Garden.
Inside each of these folders is still another folder named UB Scenarios, VL
Scenarios, or MG Scenarios.  Throw away these Scenario folders.   Now
double click on the UB Scenarios 4.01.sea, VL Scenarios 4.01.sea, and/or MG
Scenarios 4.01.sea files and place the expanded folder(s) into the
appropriate folder.  You are DONE! and can proceed to step 10.

9) 1.0 users, its just us now.  You all need to update your Utah Beach
Color and Utah Beach B&W files.  So, use the appropriate patcher (Utah
Beach Color update or Utah Beach B&W update) as you did in step 6 for your
application.  Once completed,
- Throw away your old Utah Scenarios folder
- Make a new folder named Utah Beach
- Place the new Utah Beach Color or Utah Beach B&W files into the new Utah
Beach folder
- Double click on the UB Scenarios 4.01.sea and place the expanded folder
into the appropriate folder.  You are DONE!

10) As a final check, make sure your V for Victory folder is set up in the
following manner:
V for Victory Folder
	|
	|_V for Victory 4.01 (FPU) -or- V for Victory 4.01 (non-FPU)
	|_Victory Color -or- Victory B&W
								(and one or more of the following)

We hope that this file and this last-ever V for Victory upgrade solves any
problems you may be having with the old versions of the program.  As you
may or may not know, Atomic Games (the designers, developers, and owners of
V for Victory) and Three-Sixty Pacific (the publishers of the series and
the holder of the trademarks to the title and logo) are no longer
collaborating on projects.  Atomic Games is now working with The Avalon
Hill Game Company and has just released Operation Crusader, the first in
the new World at War series.  Three-Sixty Pacific has recently released
Victory at Sea and will soon release Harpoon II.
