I] WHAT THE PATCH FIXES
=======================================================================
Version 1.01 prevents the OLD UNIT NO = 77 LDR_PTR=252 SUCCID=1702 or similar 
error that may occur between battles.

NOTE: If you are already getting this error in one of your games, you will need 
to install the patch, then back up to the end of the previous battle, and then 
play through the affected scenario again.

II] HOW TO INSTALL THE PATCH
=======================================================================

Step 1  Place the patch disk in your A: drive and go to a DOS prompt.

Step 2  Type A: <Enter>.  

Step 3  Type COPY *.*  C:\SIERRA\CIVILWAR <Enter> (you may need to substitute
        a different drive and/or directory if you didn't install Robert E. Lee 
	Civil War General to the default directory).  Overwrite any existing files.  

Step 4  Re-enter Windows and try the game.
