               483.04 or 483.05 to 483.051 Update Instructions



    The files on this disk (or archive) will patch all the files
    necessary to update Darklands version 4 or version 5 to version 5.1.
    Darklands must be installed on your hard drive before this update 
    can be applied.

    The updating process makes a copy of the file to be modified,
    patches the copy then deletes the old copy. This means that there
    must be sufficient disk space to make a copy of the largest file to
    be updated. This file is DARKLAND.EXE, size 1.6M. Therefore it is
    suggested that you have at least 2.1M free space before you start the
    updating process.

    To apply the update do the following:

    1) Copy UPDATE.EXE and PATCH.RTP to the Darklands directory. It
       will be C:\MPS\DARKLAND if you accepted the default case at
       installation time. 

    2) Type UPDATE followed by the ENTER key

       The updating process will begin. It takes 5 to 20 minutes 
       to apply the patches for version 4 and 2 minutes for version 5.

    3) Once the update is complete, feel free to delete UPDATE.EXE and
       PATCH.RTP.
