I╒m assuming that you╒re reading this because you have used a previous version of Ultima III ╤ you can simply drag your ╥Roster╙ file from any older version of Ultima III into your Ultima III 1.4.2 folder to preserve your game(s)-in-progress. If you have previously registered Ultima III and you downloaded the entire 1.4.2 archive, you will need to re-enter your registration information. Do this before you drag your Roster file in! If you don╒t, any abilities your characters had above 25 will be stripped away.
Even if you╒re familiar with a previous version of Ultima III, I╒d still suggest skimming through the ╥Read Me First╙ file for additional tidbits. What is listed here is just a summary of changes to Ultima III since version 1.3.
