 This install applies to "Space Quest" © 1987 Sierra.

 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 0.5 MB ChipMem (+0.6 MB OtherMem for preload).
 It can be quit by pressing F10 (key can be changed with Tooltype "QuitKey=").


 Features:
 ---------
 - Full load from HD
 - Protection removed (HLS encrypted binary, disk check)
 - 2 versions supported (SPS 1484, BTTR version)
 - RawDIC imager to save files from game disk
 - Load/Save directory requests disabled
 - Solution included
 - NewIcon (created by me)
 - Source code included as usual
 - Quit option that works on 68000 machines (default key is 'PrtSc')

 I have remade the patch for this classic Sierra game as I got a report
 recently from someone who had problems with the old patch.

 I have now added support for the original HLS protected version and disabled
 the annoying load/save directory requesters. The patch now also uses files
 instead of a disk image, I have coded a RawDIC imager to save the files from
 the game disk, this was required as the protection flags are not set hence
 it's not possible to copy the files using AmigaDOS on OS2.0+ machines.

 The "Back to the Roots" version (which is just a crack) is still supported too.


 Have a nice festive season and enjoy the game from HD.
