GrandPrix Patch v2.20 by Multiplex of Chrome
--------------------------------------------
Introduction
------------
This patch is freeware. It has nothing to do with Microprose
nor F1GP Editor by Oliver Roberts. To use this patch you
need the original Formula One Grand Prix written by
Geoff Crammond. Thanks for ReqTools go to Nico François and
for many hours (>1000h for sure!) beta-testing to Tero
Savolainen.
Requirements
------------
Over 1MB memory and faster Amiga recommended. Please note that
when you're racing with this patch, you need 100KB more memory
than normally. This is mainly required for ReqTools to function
properly.
How to use
----------
At first run GPPatch background by writing
"run GPPatch" on your cli or shell window.
Then start F1GP normally from shell or Workbench.
If you're running F1GP from disks then add
the command in the beginning of your F1GP-disk's
startup-sequence.
Also you must have reqtools.library (KS1.3 & KS2.0+ versions
supplied) installed.
