             CHANGES TO THE STAR LEGIONS MANUAL FOR VERSION 1.0
             ==================================================

* Actual System Requirements
   To install and run Star Legions you will require the following actual
   minimum requirements on your PC (use the "chkdsk" or "mem" command
   to check):
      Low RAM free:  570 KB (no Sound Blaster voice)
                     582 KB (with voice for Sound Blaster)
      Extended RAM:    0 KB (no voice)
                     705 KB (with voice)
          Extended RAM is recommended for better performance even without
          a sound board. Expanded RAM is not used.
      Hard disk space:  4.0 MB (no voice)
                        5.0 MB (with voice)
          If you do not have a Sound Blaster or compatible board, then you
          can delete all the files in the \VOC subdirectory for more space.

* Sign-On Options - Legions Data (p.21)
   If you click on the name or number of any of the legions listed, detailed
   information, including the banner and legion motto, will appear. This
   works the same as for viewing the detailed mission histories.

* Mission Elapsed Time Display (p.38)
   When you have frozen the game, the "Time" label in this display will
   change to "Frzn".

* Planetary Control Panel - VIEW CITY Mode (p.43)
   The "Quit" button on the CommVid exits you from viewing cities, not the
   "OK" button as the manual states on the first line.

* Planetary Control Panel - VIEW CITY Mode (p.43)
   The "Full" button on the CommVid used to bring up the full map, does not
   change to say "Restore" when full map is being displayed. Clicking on
   the "Full" button again will remove the full map and return to the planet
   map display.

* Orbital Control Panel - Ship Data Display (p.49)
   Under ORDERS, the display will show "Xfer" instead of "Transit" for when
   the ship is transferring between orbits.

* Orbital Control Panel - Orbit Altitude Sub-Panel (pp.51-53)
   Viewing cities is NOT dependent on the city being within the FOV of
   any orbiting ship, even for FULL map viewing. A hi-res scanning satellite
   is left in a stationary geosync orbit above each detected city. This
   provides automatic viewing capability.

                               ADDITIONAL NOTES:

                        Installation and Configuration
- Hardware Check

To determine the type of sound card available for music and sound 
effects, the INSTALL program is set to automatically scan the computer 
hardware. In case the program cannot successfully scan your particular 
hardware, you are given an option to skip the scan process and 
manually input the sound card settings yourself. 

If you select NO to Hardware Check, then the INSTALL program will 
default to no sound card and you must choose the correct sound card 
settings yourself. If you are using a Sound Blaster card for sound 
effects, then you will need to choose the correct I/O port, sound IRQ 
setting, and DMA Channel setting. When choosing these settings, the 
defaults will be highlighted. You can choose the defaults or select 
your own settings. 

- Troubleshooting

Some AdLib compatible sound cards may not be detected by the INSTALL 
program. In this case, it will default to the PC speaker. You may 
override this selection and instead choose the card that your sound 
card is compatible to. 

If sound problems occur within the game, there may be a compatibility 
problem with your specific hardware configuration. To test for sound 
card compatibility problems, run the CONFIG program and select PC 
Speaker to see if this eliminates your problems.
