1.  Tex Murphy Overseer must already be installed on the harddisk.

2.  Unzip the files into a temporary directory on your harddisk.

3.  Run the Update.exe program by double clicking on its icon.
    The Update program copies all the updated files to the Overseer directory
    and writes new information into the default.ini and tex.ini game files.

Problems Fixed by the Update
=============================================================================
Version 1.02:
1.  Fixed a bug where certain machines playing Version 1.01 of the game from
	the CD-ROMs would would lock up immediately.

Version 1.01:
1.  Added support for Direct 3D compatible 3D accelerator video cards.  We have
tested each of the following cards:

	nVidia Riva 128 based cards, AGP & PCI
	Matrox Mystique 220
	Rendition V1000 & V2100 - Diamond Stealth II 220
	3Dfx based cards, Voodoo I and Voodoo II
	ATI 3D Expression & Rage Pro, AGP & PCI
	S3 Virge GX2 based cards - Diamond Stealth 3D 4000
	Cirrus Logic 54xx based cards
	Intel 740 based cards
	Rendition Verite 1000

Cards not currently supported for 3D acceleration:
	Matrox M3D and Millenium II
	S3 Virge VX/DX/MX based cards - Diamond Stealth 3D 2000

2.  Magnetic Key Puzzle:  No longer locks up during the introductory voice-over
    when using an S3-based video card.

3.  Travel Panel:  In 800x600 mode the width of the locked out panel was adjusted
    to look correct.

4.  Travel Location update:  New travel locations will now show up on the locked
    panel as soon as they are set.

5.  Restarting a game:  The travel and inventory panels are now automatically
    unlocked if the game is restarted.

6.  Inventory items:  The yellow border is now removed correctly in all cases.

7.  Travel from Greg Call's lab:  You can now travel from Call's lab once you
    have removed the implant.

8.  Alcatraz Guard hint puzzle:  The puzzle will now show up correctly.

9.  Improved error checking on room reload.

10.  Several misspellings were fixed.

11.  Minimum texture memory requirement was reduced to 2 MB.

12.  Improved DirectX compliance for texture memory detection.

13.  Pitch problem with textures for nVidia Riva 128  and non-AGP 3D accelerators fixed.

14.  Fixed the problem with texture reload when texture quality was adjusted on the nVidia.

15.  Removed magenta halos on bilinear-filtered textures.

16.  Fixed movie playback to correct squashed video that occurred on some MPEG cards.

17.  F4 will now bring up the hints screen while the askabout notepad is up.

18.  When a movie is played in a child window, like on the Creative Labs Encore, the hints
     screen and vr room render screen and puzzles now take down the child window.  Before
     this fix, there could be flickering between the movie's child window and the desired 
     game screen.

19.  Autodetect for the presence of several video cards and set lockvideo where needed.

20.  Moved the Attitude Selection Box farther down the screen in 800x600 mode.

21.  Corrected the movie playback size in 800x600 mode.

Known Issues with the Update
=============================================================================
NOTE:  See the Readme.txt file for additional issues.

-- 3DFX Voodoo I/Voodoo II due to hardware limitations do NOT support DVD:

	Secondary 3D Accelerator boards, namely those cards based on the 3dfx Voodoo I
	and Voodoo II chipsets, do not have hardware support for DVD video playback 
	while the Voodoo is active.  

	We are working with 3dfx on a possible workaround to this problem.

-- ZORAN COMPCORE SOFTDVD/SOFTPEG:  This software MPEG2 player does not work
	with the game, since it does not support proper playback in DirectDraw
	fullscreen exclusive mode.  We are currently working with Zoran on a
	solution to this problem.

-- CHROMATIC MPEG2:  This MPEG2 card does not work with the game, since
	it does not support playback in DirectDraw fullscreen 
	exclusive mode.  We are working with Chromatic on this problem and should
	have a solution shortly.

-- TOSHIBA DVD:    This MPEG2 card does not work with the game, since
	it does not support playback in DirectDraw fullscreen exclusive mode.  
	We are currently working with Toshiba on a solution to this problem.

-- MATROX M3D:  The Matrox M3D is not supported due to unnaceptable frame rates as
	compared to other 3D accelerators and because there is a flaw in the drivers
	that produce a general protection fault intermittently during texture loads.

-- S3 VIRGE VX/DX/MX: The 3d hardware acceleration on these cards is not supported.  
	The game can still be played with the software renderer.  

-- MATROX MILLENNIUM II AGP:  3D hardware acceleration is not supported for this card.
	Matrox does not include	Direct 3D support.  The game can still be played with 
	with the software renderer.
