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

 The installed program requires 0.5 MB ChipMem and 1.5 MB OtherMem.
 It can be quit by pressing num '*' (key can be changed with Tooltype "QuitKey=").


 If you have problems with this installation please try and get a newer
 version of this package from the WHDLoad WWW-Page.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 or create a mantis issue directly

 Version 2.3 (03.06.2023) done by paraj & JOTD:
 - fixed nasty protection check that trashed bomb location on level 5 (good find paraj!)
 - fixed missing reloc (levels 5,6,7,8)
 - added a lot of options to skip intro screens
 - added level selection
 - added level codes
 - TODO: max of everything (inventory is at $581e (cannon rounds), $5820 (MG rounds), $5822 (life support flag), $5824 (reserve fuel tank flag), $28474 (number of nets) and $28476 (number of pups).
 
 Version 2.2 (29.11.2022) done by JOTD:
 - fixed crash on "city info" menu (needs updating of .reloc file)
 - added an option to speed up "imageworks presents" logo
 
 Version 2.1 (27.11.2022) done by JOTD & paraj:
 - fixed keyboard fix (sorry!)
 - removed old slave in the archive. The _unreloc slave is available
   to use the alternate version
   
 Version 2.0 (26.11.2022) done by JOTD & paraj:
 - paraj: faster draw operation on fast machines
 - paraj: takes advantage of AGA fmode for even better speed
 - paraj: fixed more self-modifying code
 - paraj: relocated stack in fastmem for better speed
 - JOTD: now uses fast memory for better speed
 - JOTD: restored slave source code with missing bits
 - JOTD: added more document files (hints, keys...)
 - JOTD: adapted to whdload 17
 - JOTD: quitkey on 68000/NOVBRMOVE
 - JOTD: keyboard fixed
 - JOTD: only one version supported now
 
 Version R1 (11/2001) done by Girv
 - first release
 - supports two versions of the game
 - removed self modifying code
 - removed cpu speed dependent delays
 - removed manual protection
 - enabled instruction cache

NOTES:

- The game is MUCH faster thanks to 1) relocation in fast memory (hard work) but
mostly 2) re-write of blitter drawing routines so they use CPU instead, plus a lot
more optimizations from paraj. He already helped with the latest F/18 interceptor fixes.
Big Kudos to him!

- If you get "unsupported version", it means that your version
is no longer supported for newer features. Relocating the executable
in fast memory took a lot of time and I'm not redoing it for the other
version... Use old slave instead
