                               ------------
              The coder of this program will not be responible
              for any damage caused to software/hardware by
              using this program.



History :
---------

v1.00 (bug-version)
The only release so far.  It's not a very bright program yet, coz I made it
i a hurry.  All it does for now is, delete the resets the first save game
(game00.iff) and gives it 16,777,215 credits.


v1.01 (bug-fix)
The only release so far.  It's not a very bright program yet, coz I made it
i a hurry.  All it does for now is, delete the resets the first save game
(game00.iff) and gives it 16,777,215 credits.


v1.01-1.4 :
Experimental version that you wouldn't wont to have on your disk ;)


v1.5 :
Here comes the first free edit version of the program.  This means that you
can add money/credits to any save game what so every.  The only draw-back is
this, and this is VERY important : It only works when the save game in the
P.A.D ( Personal Access Directory ) ( the thing you get when you press P )
has a name EQUAL to five characters.  This means that you must save your
game with a name like : BLAIR or BECKY or FRANK.
                        12345    12345    12345
Why? Well, it's to complex for must you anyway, so I wont explain....
What else is new ? Well instead of a shit load of files, now there is only
one file req. to cheat the game, this means less space on our disk ;)


v2.1 :
Remember this silly bug ? :

game with a name like : BLAIR or BECKY or FRANK.
                        12345    12345    12345

If is gone! This version reads and edits save-games up to full length!
Pluss a bunch of new features !


This archive :
--------------
This Archive must contain the following files, if it does not, contact the
author, the adress is listet at the buttom of this info.

NAME                    DESCRIPTION
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FILE_ID.DIZ             BBS description file
P2E.EXE                 The main Cheat file
README.                 This file
README.EXE              The view file for this file
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unzip all the files in the \DARK main dir.


How to use :
------------
After a days hard work it's here boy and girls :
Welcome to the NEW privateer cheat series !
In this version of I have solved the problem consering long save-names
so now you can save the game in any length you like....
All you have to do in order to get this cheat to work is :

1. Put the file p2e.exe in your \DARK game directory
2. Execute is and remember the syntax...

SYNTAX : P2E.EXE <SAVEGAME.EXT>
EXAMPLE: P2E.EXE GAME00.IFF <-This is your first PAD game (1.)



TROUBLESHOOTING
---------------
This paragarph is VERY IMPORTANT to read for some of you.

1. (QEMM 9.0)
The cheat using a DMPI manager.This is causing some
unareements with a certain QEMM version.  So is your using
QEMM version 9.00, this cheat might NOT work...

2. (WINDOWS 1995)
Again the cheat is using a DMPI manager. So if you're using
windows 1995, check your CONFIG.SYS for these lines :

FILES = HIGH
BUFFERS = HIGH
STACKS = HIGH

If your config.sys contains these lines ( any of them ) 
alter them so they say :

FILES = 50
BUFFERS = 60
STACKS = 9, 256




Future Plans and notes :
------------------------


Version 3.0 ????
--------------------------------------------------
Well, I can't see that more I can do with the cheat
so I guess I'll move on to some other game.
But I will perfectionate theese versions first.
If there is something you think I missed please
write me a tell me, and I might make a spesical for
you....


Spesical Thanx to :
