I. COMMENTS

Please note that updating from the DOS version to the Windows 95
version is a complex process.  We recommend printing this readme
file and following it step by step as you update.  Please note
that omitting any of the steps below will cause the updating
to fail.

This patch updates version 1.0.2 of IndyCar Racing II for DOS to
version 1.0.1 of IndyCar Racing II for Windows 95.  (The lower
version number does not mean that you have an earlier version.
There are different version numbers for DOS, Win95, and Mac
versions.)

Contents of this update:
         Readme.1st
        Readme.bat
         dos2winp.exe
    install.bat
    w95icrts.txt    (A Troubleshooting guide for IndyCar2 Win95)

II. INSTALLATION

How to patch DOS v1.0 of ICR2 to Windows 95 v1.0.1:

1) Download the DOS v1.0.2 patch (ICR100_2.EXE).  It can be
   found on:
    Internet    www.sierra.com
    AOL        Keyword Sierra
    CompuServe  Go Sierra

2) Follow the directions for the DOS v1.0.2 patch found in
   the readme.102 file included with that patch.

3) Once the DOS version is patched up to v1.0.2, rename the
   directory so it's path is \SIERRA\ICR2. For example, if
   the DOS version is installed in C:\ICR2, you'll want to
   do the following.  (Note:  if you have other Sierra games, skip step 3a)

   a) Create a SIERRA folder using Windows 95 using My Computer:
      Open My Computer
      Double-click on your hard drive (usually C:)
      Click on File/New/Folder
      Type in the folder name:  SIERRA


   b) Move the ICR2 folder to the SIERRA folder:
      Open My Computer again
      Double-click on your hard drive (usually C:)
      Click on the ICR2 directory and drag it into the
      Sierra Folder or use the copy and paste functions
      (Note:  if you have IndyCar Racing II for DOS in a
      folder other than ICR2, rename it to ICR2 using
      File/Rename before dragging it into the SIERRA folder)


4) Create a new directory at your root directory called DOS2WIN
   (Note:  this new folder must be on the same drive as the
   SIERRA\ICR2 folder):
      Open My Computer
      Double-click on your hard drive (usually C:)
      Click on File/New/Folder
      Type in the folder name:  DOS2WIN

5) Copy the ICR2WIN.EXE file into this directory:
      Click on the ICR2WIN.EXE file, drag it into DOS2WIN folder
      or use the copy and paste functions

6) Execute the ICR2WIN.EXE file:
      Double-click on the ICR2WIN.EXE file

7) Execute the INSTALL.BAT file:
    Double-click on the INSTALL.BAT file

8) Execute the SETUP.EXE file.  (This is the Sierra Setup
   utility and will install the needed files for the Win95 version of ICR2.):
      Double-click on SETUP.EXE
      Follow on-screen prompts and instructions, accept all defaults

9) Now you'll be all set to play the Win95 version of IndyCar Racing II!
   To start the game, click START, then PROGRAMS, then SIERRA, and click the
   Indy Car Racing II icon. You may also start the game by double-clicking
   on the WINDY.EXE icon in your Sierra\ICR2 folder.

10)After running IndyCar Racing II for Windows 95 to ensure that
   the update was successful, you may delete the DOS2WIN directory
   (created in step 4). You may wish to keep the W95ICRTS.TXT file.
   It contains troubleshooting information for this game.


Notes:

Please make use of the ONLINE HELP included with the Windows 95 version
of this game.  This will help to explain some features that were not
in the DOS version.

You may still use the DOS version of IndyCar Racing II by doing the following:
  Restart the Computer in MS-DOS Mode from the Start/Shut Down menu
  Change directory to C:\SIERRA\ICR2 by typing CD\SIERRA\ICR2 <enter>
  Start the game by typing  INDYCAR -H <enter> or INDYCAR <enter>
