Dear MicroProse Customer,

        Thank you for purchasing Machiavelli the Prince.  This disk contains
the latest update.


HOW TO INSTALL

        To install the update, use the following instructions:

	1)  Place the update disk into the appropriate drive (A: or B:)

	2)  Log onto that drive (A: or B:)

        3)  Type UPDATE [drive] [path]
            For example:  type UPDATE C: MPS\PRINCE  (please note the SPACE
            between the drive and the path - if you have changed the
            default directory of C:\MPS\PRINCE, you must change the above
            path)

	The update will then install itself.


COMPATIBILITY PROBLEMS

Machiavelli may experience compatibility problems with SMARTDRV.EXE write
cache.  If you are experiencing lock-ups during a game, disable SMARTDRV.EXE
write cache.  Consult your manual.

The autosave feature may cause problems in some systems.  If you are
experiencing graphical distortions or lock-ups during the save, disable
the autosave feature.
        

FIXES

1) The multi-player security password capabilities have been fixed.

2) The continuous payment for an Assigned Post (pressing "Cancel" when asked
   to verify the usage of money allotted) at the End of Turn has been fixed.
