I] WHAT THE PATCH FIXES
=======================================================================
This patch fixes a problem in which the game would not allow any player
names including the character string "christ".  This patch works for both Windows 3.1 
and Windows 95 versions of Dr Brain 4.


II] HOW TO INSTALL THE PATCH
=======================================================================
If you recieved the patch file in compressed format (.exe) double click on the file. 
Chose a temporary directory on your hard drive or a floppy drive to place the patch files 
in (the default is \Windows\TEMP.)  In Windows, use Explorer to locate the place where 
you placed the DBPATCH.EXE file and double-click on it.  
The patch will be automatically applied.


III] ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
=======================================================================
The Time Warp of Dr. Brain has a filter which disallows certain
words/character strings from being used as player names (i.e. saved game
names).  This was done primarily to prevent "offensive" words from being
used as saved game names in scholastic settings.  The word "christ" was
accidentally left on this list, which results in preventing the use of any
name using those five letters (Christine, Christopher, etc.).  We apologize
to those people who entered their names, only to have Dr. Brain say "That's
a naughty name."

This patch places a small file (global.pgf 324K) in your Dr. Brain 4
directory.  The game then uses this file instead of the one on the CD.
