                          ============================
                          BEFORE INSTALLING THIS PATCH
                          ============================

The operation of this patch file is fairly straightforward.  There are only a
few operations that you need to follow, and they apply whether you're using the
patch for Basic Boppin, or Super Boppin.

  Your registered copy of Boppin is installed.  If you do not have your copy
   of v1.0 installed, please go and install it now, using the default directory
   suggested (if possible).

  It is VITAL that you install the patch to exactly the same directory as the
   registered copy is installed it.  It is strongly recommended that this patch
   either be installed from a floppy disk, or from a subdirectory on your hard
   drive that has nothing else in it besides these installation files.

  When the patch is finished running, it will delete itself, so you don't need
   to worry about deleting the patch program and it's data file.

  If you have only the shareware episode, this patch will do nothing for you,
   since this patch requires a registered copy of the game.  This patch will
   also not upgrade Basic Boppin to Super Boppin.  It will only work on the
   version of the game that you have.


                                ===============
                                HAVING TROUBLE?
                                ===============

If you experience trouble, you should follow these steps to correct the
problem you are experiencing.

   BACK UP ALL FLOPPY DISKS.  The worse thing that can happen is for you to
     need to delete everything, and then find out your disks have gone bad. :(

   Remove all copies of Boppin from your computer, including these
    patch files.

   Install v1.0 from your original diskettes from Apogee.

   Unpack the patch files to a different directory on your computer.

   Change to the directory you've unpacked the patch files to, and run
    the appropriate installation program.  If you picked this patch up from
    a BBS, the installation program will be INSTALL.  If you got this on a disk
    from Apogee, it will be different; consult the disk label for more info.
