DARKLANDS (TM)
Program and Audiovisual copyright 1992 MicroProse Software
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS
This updates version 483.05 or 483.051 to version 483.06
These files are designed to update Darklands AFTER it has been
installed. If your current version has a DARKLAND.EXE file of date
8/31/92 or earlier, this update will greatly improve your software.
You need about 2.5 MB of free hard disk space to perform this update.
To update, first copy all these files into your MPS\DARKLAND
subdirectory (or whatever subdirectory you selected for the game
during the original install).
Next type UPDATE and tap the ENTER key. The updating process may
take quite some time (possibly even one hour or more), depending
on the speed of your machine, its configuration (EMS and disk
caches help). The computer can perform the update unattended
(i.e., you don't have to stay and watch it!).
The update program automatically examines each of your DARKLANDS
files for any changes, additions or deletions and makes them on these
files directly. When finished, you can delete the files UPDATE.EXE,
PATCH.EXE and PATCH.RTP, which will free about 800 KB of hard disk space.
Now your files EXACTLY match the files of version 483.06, as if
you'd just installed them from the distribution disks.

WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 483.06
This version has a few new features added (see the new README.TXT).
It also fixes various machine compatibility problems and other bugs
found in earlier versions. Finally, it includes new and/or revised
artwork for certain areas of the game.
The new version allows scrolling through the saved game list with
the keyboard arrow keys. It also allows loading the game from within
the game (two greatly desired features). See the new README.TXT for
details.
In general, saved games from the previous version will work fine in
this new version. A few minor problems from old quests may remain,
but these do not significantly affect the game.
