 This install applies to original "A320 Airbus" © 1991 Thalion Software. Original 
 Version most of the 2 Disks Versions protected with track 79. 
 
 Also is compatible with the 1 Disk Versions. A320 Airbus Edition Europa Editions:
 V1.3GE, V1.43 and V1.44GE. 
 
 Note: 
 "A320 Airbus Edition Europe" in many places is also called: "A320 Airbus Edition Europa",
 and this Slave install most of those versions. This Slaves is itended for use with the
 versions with the Europe Airports only.
 
 See below notes for compatibility in all the releases.

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

 The installed program requires 0.5 MB or 1 MB ChipMem and 0.5 MB OtherMem.
 
 I "changed the default 'F10' exit key with the '*'/PrtSc NUMPAD KEY as the game 
 uses almost all the keyboard, including the'F10' (key can be changed with Tooltype 
 "QuitKey=" in the icon, via command line or you can override it in your 
 'S:WHDLoad.prefs'). If you can't exit the game with '*'/PrtSc NUMPAD KEY,
 then check your 'S:WHDLoad.prefs' because for sure you have there the 'QuitKey' 
 value pointed to other key. QuitKey feature works also in 68000. Although, the 
 default ‘ESC’ Key in game works for similar and other purposes as ‘BACK’, ‘EXIT’,
 and more.

 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/skick346.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 If you have problems with this installation please try and get a newer
 version of this package from the WHDLoad WWW-Page.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.
