 This install applies to "Putty/Silly Putty/Super Putty" © 1992 System 3.

 Requirements:
 -------------
 This install requires WHDLoad and RawDIC to be in the path.
 To install from a different drive than DF0: select installation mode Expert.

 The installed game requires 1.0 MB ChipMem (+1.9 MB OtherMem for preload).
 It can be quit by pressing Del (key can be changed with Tooltype "QuitKey=").


 Features:
 ---------
 - Full load from HD (real files, lots of work!)
 - Protection removed (Copylock)
 - 5 versions supported (SPS 0197, SPS 1336, CD32, 2 others)
 - Interrupts fixed
 - DMA wait in replayer and sample player fixed (x4)
 - Blitter wait added
 - Decruncher (ByteKiller) relocated and error check added
 - Trainer options added (CUSTOM1/2)
 - Bug in game code fixed (undefined file size)
 - High-score load/save (saving is disabled if any trainers used)
 - NewIcon (created by me)
 - Source code included as usual
 - Quit option that works on 68000 machines (default key is 'Del')

 Finally this update is completed too, the code has been finished since
 December 2014 but I just didn't get around to creating the install package
 until now.

 Quite a few people reported problems with the old patch, keyboard didn't
 work correctly and a lot of people had problems with the imager as well.
 These problems are now all fixed! I have coded a RawDIC imager which
 was quite a bit of work but interesting to do. The game uses a mixture
 of normal Amiga DOS and hidden files. Supporting the lots of different
 versions of the game didn't make it any easier at all.

 Patching the game wasn't much of a problem but still needed quite a bit
 of time as I had to test all the supported versions. Speaking of the supported
 versions, these are the commonly available SPS versions of (Silly) Putty
 (SPS 197, SPS 1336), the CD32 version ("Super Putty") and two others.

 I have also added trainers as usual, if you enable the in-game keys,
 the follwing extra keys are available:

 E - toggle unlimited energy (pliability)
 T - toggle unlimited time
 L - toggle unlimited lives
 N - skip level

 High score saving will be disabled if any trainer options are used.

 Enjoy the game from HD.
