                     GRANDEST FLEET CDROM UPDATE
                         version 12-13-94

Note: the SETUP command for choosing sound drivers requires that
 FILES=30 (or better) be in your CONFIG.SYS file.

This update (TGFCDUP2.EXE) includes the following:
 New SVGA VESA card detection routines for newer video cards.
 New Text font detection routine for video cards lacking full range of built
  in fonts.
 Two new startup line options will force these routines to be used:
T  Forces small font to be used at all times. Use with cards missing some fonts.
E  Forces check for VESA driver.  Use with cards that are misrecognized, or
    have built in VESA drivers.
ALL the changes from TGFUP1.EXE are included in this version, except the new
 sound drivers, which are only contained in the TGFUP1.EXE update!!!
Some large games may have problems being restored by the game.  Please
 disable the Music and Sound effects drivers to load these games by using
 GFLEET MS on the start up line.

Previous update (TGFCDUP1.EXE) included
 A general update for most sound cards and drivers.
 Officer notches are now saved to disk at the end of battles and campaigns.
 Saved games now restore side names, random damage options, and Advanced ship
  options correctly. (newly saved games only for side names)
 Computer now defaults to "ENEMY" as side name until user enters a new name.
 Campaign menu Save, Continue, and Abort mouse click areas corrected.
 Slight correction to Culture menu.
 Several other slight changes.

Insert update disk into correct floppy drive.
Switch to drive (i.e. B:)
Type INSTALL and hit return.

The update will ask you to choose the drive and directory where you previously
installed the CDROM version of Grandest Fleet.
After installing the update, SETUP will be run to allow you to reselect your
sound drivers.

Runs in SVGA 640 by 480 by 256 color mode (VESA_101). If your video card
is not recognized by the program, load your video card's VESA driver and
try running Grandest Fleet again.

Start game with GFLEET with your Grandest Fleet disk in the CDROM drive.
Use S or M after GFLEET on command line to disable Sound or Music to save memory.
