INDEPENDENCE WAR / I-WAR 3DFX PATCH V1.21 OCTOBER 1998

Once installed this patch addresses several issues in the
original release of Independence War and the I-War 3DFX
Upgrade:

1. Third Party Force Feedback joysticks such as the CH
   Force FX and the Logitech Wingman Force are now
   supported.

2. A -norudder option has been added to work around the
   Windows98 joystick driver problem where the ship could
   continually roll with some digital joystick drivers.

   To add this option follow these instructions:
   a.   Install the patch
   b.   Edit the shortcut you are running the game from
        by clicking on the shortcut with the right mouse
        button and selecting properties from the menu.
   c.   Add -norudder to the end of the box labelled
        'Target', making sure that the option is placed 
        after any quotation marks.
   d.   Click OK to save the changes.

3. CD access when loading speech has been improved.

4. The crash that occurs sometimes when clicking on the
   tracking device has been fixed.
