 This install applies to "Assassin" © 1992 Team 17.

 Requirements:
 -------------
 This install requires WHDLoad and DIC to be in the path.
 These programs can be found in the WHDLoad package.
 To install from a different drive than DF0: select installation mode Expert.

 The installed game requires 0.5 MB ChipMem and 0.5 MB OtherMem
 (+1.8 MB for preload).
 It can be quit by pressing F10 (key can be changed with Tooltype "QuitKey=").


 Features:
 ---------
 - Full load from HD
 - Protection removed (Copylock)
 - Interrupts fixed
 - Automatic high score load/save (see below)
 - Bplcon0 color bit fixes (x24)
 - DMA wait in replayer fixed (x2)
 - Button Wait support for Mission info screens
 - Intro skip option added (CUSTOM3)
 - Trainer options added (CUSTOM1/2)
 - Decruncher (ProPack) relocated to fast memory
 - Source code included
 - NewIcon (created by me)
 - Quit option that works on 68000 machines (default key is 'F10')

 I have redone the patch for this game, the code is quite good so
 it was fun to work on this patch. I have added automatic high-score
 load/save, in the original game the "LOAD HIGH SCORES" resp.
 "SAVE HIGH SCORES" menu options had to be used, now the high scores
 are loaded when the game starts and saved once a high score has been
 achieved. Saving high scores will only work if no trainer options have
 been used. There are a lot of "hidden" words which can be entered
 as high score name, if you want a list of all words just drop me
 a mail.

 I have a added trainer options as usual, to see all available in-game
 keys press "Help" during the game.

 Due to the fast loading from HD the mission info screens are displayed
 for a very short time only, if you want to read them you can use the
 "ButtonWait" tooltype, the mission info screens will then be shown
 until the fire button has been pressed.

 I have also added an option to skip the intro as I found it rather
 annoying to wait for the intro to finish before being able to play
 the game.

 Protection was a rather useless Copylock, coder tried to disguise the
 checks for the serial key but it was a rather wasted effort, it is
 quite obvious that he doesn't know how to implement a proper protection
 check.


 Enjoy the game from HD.
