What is needed to upgrade
=========================

  1.  An un-modified, registered, STalker 3 Master Disk, version 3.03.

  2.  A hard disk or a blank formatted floppy disk (to place the
      STALK304.PRG and STALK304.DAT on).


How to upgrade your STalker version 3.03 to version 3.04
========================================================

  1.  Make sure you have made a backup copy of the STalker 3 Master Disk.

  2.  Place the STALK304.PRG and STALK304.DAT on your hard disk or on the
      blank floppy disk (it may need the extra disk space to write some
      temporary files, depending on free memory.)

  3.  Run the STALK304.PRG and follow the on-screen prompts.

  4.  Once you have finished upgrading your master disk to version 3.04,
      make a backup copy of this newer version.

  ** VERY IMPORTANT STEP, READ CAREFULLY **

  5.  To install the newer version on your system, you MUST replace the
      following STalker 3.03 files in your system with the 3.04 version
      files from the newly upgraded disk. You can either do this from the
      desktop, or by using the INSTALL.PRG on the STalker disk:

      \STALKER.ACC
      \STALKER.PRG    (copied from STALKER.PRG on the master disk)


If you get an error message
===========================

  If your STalker 3 Master Disk has been modified in any way (including
  moving files around), the patch program will not be able to perform the
  upgrade.  You will get an error message indicating that this has
  happened.  In this case, you should mail us the disk so that we can
  upgrade it.

  To have your disk upgraded by us, you need to:

  1.  Send in your original, registered, STalker 3.03 Master Disk.
  2.  Enclose a U.S. check for $5 + $2 shipping & handling ($7 total).
  3.  Enclose a note with your name, address, and daytime phone number.

  In return you will receive the upgraded 3.04 Master Disk. If you have
  already purchased this patch disk from us for $5, please just include
  your original disk and $2.


Changes for STalker 3.04
========================

  STalker will now correctly use GDOS fonts the first time the program is
    run or when used as a desk accessory mode.

  When marking a block and pasting/appending, garbage is no longer added if
    the first line doesn't start at column 1.

  When running as a program under a single-tasking AES, the menu bar will
    always be at the top of the screen instead of within the window.

  DCD is off by default when no .INF file is found.
