║ DAWN PATROL UPDATE V1.1 ║
║ (C) ROWAN SOFTWARE LTD. ║
║ PUBLISHED BY EMPIRE INTERACTIVE ║
╚═════════════════════════════════╝
Dear Customer,
This disk is the first update disk for Dawn Patrol (3.5" Floppy & CD-ROM).
The update includes the following -
1. A Faster Universal Driver;
2. More High Speed Graphic Drivers;
3. Bug fixes.
1. The Faster Universal Driver
------------------------------
The Faster Universal Driver can be used to display the SVGA graphics on a
60MHz (or faster) machine. The speed of this new driver can be effectively
increased by reducing the detail level on the Preferences screen.
2. More High Speed Graphic Drivers
----------------------------------
These extra drivers include a #9 128 bit and two new Trident models.
3. Bug fixes
------------
These include Flightstick Pro fixes.
Installation Intructions
------------------------
There are two versions of the update on this disk -
1. INSTALPC.BAT (For the 3.5" Floppy and FULL CD-ROM Installation);
2. INSTALCD.BAT (For Minimum, Normal and Large CD-ROM Installations).
Before you use either version, you should delete your SAVEGAME file by typing
the following -
CD\ <return>
CD PATH\SAVEGAME <return>
DELETEME <return>
Update Disk Installation Instructions
(For 3.5" Floppy and FULL CD-ROM Installation)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Ensure the update disk is inserted into a floppy drive.
2. Type INSTALPC followed by the hard drive and path names. For example,
INSTALPC C:\GAMES\DAWNPTRL <return>
3. If Dawn Patrol has not previously been installed, or the file PATROL.EXE
does not exist in the directory, the installation program will stop and give
an error message.
4. If the correct syntax has been used for INSTALPC and you have specified a
legal path, then the update will begin. It should only take a few moments.
5. After the installation is complete, it is essential that you re-run
SVGATEST and PATROL ?.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

installed, followed by the CD-ROM drive name; for example:

does not exist in this directory, the installation program will stop and give
an error message.

installation program will stop and give an error message.
5. If the correct syntax has been used for INSTALCD and you have specified a

It should only take a few moments.

3. The New Universal Driver
---------------------------
1. If you are using the new, Faster Universal Driver ensure that the necessary
address/parameter is located after your expanded memory manager in your
CONFIG.SYS file -
for EMM386 and 386MAX - I=A000-AFFF
for QEMM386 - VREMS
For more information about this see pages 12 and 13 in your Technical
Supplement.
2. To speed up the Faster Universal Driver even further we recommend that you
reduce the detail level from the Preferences screen.
