This README file describes the working of the F2 save
key patch, sound crash fix, and spacetec support.

This file was updated last on May 29, 1997.

The F2 key for saving is only available during the
"traversal" mode of gameplay, not during "freefall"
or "stream".  It is also disabled during certain
cinematic sequences.  You will be prompted for up
to an eight character name under which to save your
game.  You can restore the game later using the F3
key or from the main options screen.  Note that the
U.S. version already has this F2 capability.

If you have a save game which won't restore, let us
know.  Please ZIP up the save game if you can and
email it to info@shiny.com along with what version
of the game you are playing.  Please note that save
games are not compatible across different versions
of the game data files though they are compatible
between the DOS, Windows, and 3D versions of the
game.

Also hopefully fixed in the version is the crashes
that are occuring on some sound cards.  This
fix is currenly considered beta.

Another addition to this patch is support for
the Spacetec SpaceOrb 360 in DOS mode.  You need
to get the driver either from our website or
from www.spacetec.com.

Recent fix is save game compatibility with other
versions of MDK.
