 This install requires WHDLoad to be in the path. It can be found in the
 WHDLoad package.

 The installed program requires 1.0 MB ChipMem and 1.0 MB OtherMem.
 It can be quit by pressing num '*' (key can be changed with Tooltype "QuitKey=").

 The installation program requires the following tools:

 - XFDDecrunch (available in the XFD package on aminet: util/pack/xfdmaster.lha)
 - StripHunk by Joerg Riemer (available on aminet: dev/misc/StripHunk.lha)

 The game requires an installed A500 Kickstart 1.3 image.
 The kickstart image must be located in the directory "Devs:Kickstarts" and
 must be named "kick34005.A500". The image can be extracted from a A500 with
 tools like 'GrabKick' or similar which can be found on aminet.
 If the image is of wrong version or altered in any way WHDLoad will quit with
 an appropriate requester.
 Additionally the file "kick34005.A500.RTB" must be installed in the same
 directory as the kickstart image. It can be found in the archive 
 "util/boot/skick345.lha" on aminet.


 If you have problems with this installation please try and get a newer
 version of this package from the WHDLoad WWW-Page. If that doesn't help try
 some Tooltypes like NOCACHE, NOAUTOVEC, NOVBRMOVE, NOMMU, PAL or NTSC. If
 that also fails, please inform the author via the Bug-Report-Form which
 can be accessed on the WHDLoad WWW-Page.

 version 1.2 (24.04.05)
 - manual added (thanks Solo)
 - Character generation is callable now, characters may be generated
   (for a quick update, copy slave AND create data/CHARACTERS directory)
 - Changed execution sequence (thanks to Solo for the idea):

   CUSTOM1=1: run main game (after intro and/or character generation has been run)
   CUSTOM2=1: see intro
   CUSTOM3=1: run character generation (after intro)

 - Specifying no CUSTOM tooltype only runs game, without intro or character generation

 version 1.1 (20.03.05)
 - another german version supported (thanks to Irek Kloska)

 version 1.0 (20.02.05) done by JOTD:
 - initial release
 - 1 english & 2 german versions supported
 - password removed (enter anything for the page/paragraph/line questions)
 - all versions work with fastmem & caches on any CPU
 - all executables decrunched for better compatibility/loading speed
 - nice icons by exoticons & frank
 - source code included

 notes: 
 * intro & character generation executables were packed by PowerPacker and
   a debug hunk was present in the german versions, needing the StripHunk tool
   to be run on the executables in order to decrunch them properly. I could have
   made a patch within the slave, but this is much faster/cleaner this way.

 * sometimes when quitting the game when using the game quit option, whdload exits with
   an error (privilege violation). Well, nevermind.
