HardBall 5 1996 Schedule patch July 26, 1996
======================================================================
This patch will alter older HardBall 5 installations that contain the
1995 Major League Baseball 144-game strike schedule, and update the
game so that it will instead contain the 1996 Major League Baseball
162-game schedule.
How to install the patch
------------------------
(1) Download the file HB5_162G.EXE file into the HardBall 5 directory
on your hard drive (the default is C:\HB5).
(2) If you are currently running HardBall 5 from Windows 95, select
Exit to DOS from the Main Menu before continuing.
(3) Go to a DOS prompt.
(4) From the DOS prompt, type the following:
C: [Enter]
CD\HB5 [Enter]
HB5_162G [Enter]
PATCH [Enter]
If the patch program reported that the patch installation was
successful, HardBall 5 should now be patched to use the 1996 Major
League Baseball 162-game schedule.
Please note that this patch will not affect any seasons currently in
progress. To have your current league file use the 1996 162-game
season, you will need to reset it. From the League Standings screen:
(1) Select Reset Season.
(2) Select Ok.
(3) Select Start Season.
(4) Select Complete Schedule.
The date at the top of the screen should now read April 1st, 1996
instead of April 25th, 1995.
Notes about this patch
----------------------
>>> This patch should work for any version of HardBall 5, from 5.00 to
5.12.
>>> This patch only affects the MLBPA leagues, not the Legends leagues.
>>> This patch only affects the Complete Schedule. The Half Schedule
and Short Schedule are not changed.
>>> Installing this patch does not modify the HardBall 5 distribution
media (the CD). Therefore, if you re-install HardBall 5, you will
need to re-install this patch again afterwards.
>>> Should you decide you would rather have the 144-game schedule back,
you will have to re-install HardBall 5 from the CD, and any other
patches you may have installed.
