INSTALLATION VS. UPDATING
*******************************************************
 
 MiG-29 installation
   If you have MiG-29, you should run the MiG-29
   install program. Type "INSTALL" at the DOS prompt.
   This will install MiG-29 and update your version of
   Falcon 3.0 (including Operation: Fighting Tiger if
   you have it installed) to version 3.02.
  
 --> Complete MiG-29 installation instructions are
     printed on the MiG-29 Installation and Loading
     Card included in your MiG-29 package. <--
 
   The MiG-29 installer will create a file called
   MIG29.EXE in your FALCON3 directory. Run this file
   (by typing "MIG29" at the DOS prompt) instead of 
   FALCON3.EXE when you want to play MiG-29.
 
   If you are just updating Falcon 3.0, run the Falcon
   3.02 update program. Type "F3UPDATE" at the DOS
   prompt. This will update Falcon 3.0 to version 
   3.02.
 
 Who can update?
   Any Falcon 3.0 owner can update to version 3.02.
   Purchasers of MiG-29 are encouraged to distribute
   copies of Disks 1 and 2, which contain the Falcon
   3.02 update files. Disk 3 should not be distributed,
   as it is only needed for installing MiG-29.
 
 Should I update?
   Yes, if you have any of the following versions of
   Falcon 3.0: Falcon 3.0 (no suffix), Falcon 3.0a,
   Falcon 3.0c, Falcon 3.0d, Falcon 3.0e, Falcon 3.01
   (Operation: Fighting Tiger) or Falcon 3.01.1 
   (Operation: Fighting Tiger update).
 
   Also, MiG-29 will only communicate with Falcon 3.02.
   Earlier versions will fail to communicate properly.
 
   WARNING: You should complete any campaigns you
   intend to finish before updating. The Falcon 3.02
   update process deletes all existing squadron files
   and replaces them with new ones.
 
   OPERATION: FIGHTING TIGER WARNING: Do not attempt to
   install Operation: Fighting Tiger after updating to
   version 3.02! If you buy Operation: Fighting Tiger
   after you update to version 3.02, DELETE EVERYTHING
   in your FALCON3 directory and reinstall from scratch
   (Falcon 3.0, then Operation: Fighting Tiger, then
   the 3.02 update). See the update instructions below.
 
 What is included in these disks?
   These disks contain both the MiG-29 program and the 
   Falcon 3.02 update. The INSTALL.EXE program installs 
   MiG-29 and updates Falcon 3.0 and Operation: 
   Fighting Tiger to version 3.02. The F3UPDATE.EXE 
   program only performs the 3.02 update for Falcon 3.0 
   and Operation: Fighting Tiger.
 
   F3UPDATE only requires Disks 1 and 2, while INSTALL 
   requires all three disks.
 
   The Falcon 3.02 update program will place a file
   called "F3README.TXT" into your FALCON3 directory.
   This text file contains a complete listing of all
   features added to Falcon 3.0 since its original
   release.
 
   The MiG-29 install program will place F3README.TXT
   and another file called "MGREADME.TXT" into your
   FALCON3 directory. The MGREADME text file lists all
   the features of MiG-29 not covered in the Falcon 3.0
   or MiG-29 manuals, including some last-minute
   changes.
 
*******************************************************
FALCON 3.02 UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS
*******************************************************
 
   1) Install Falcon 3.0 according to the instructions
      provided with that game (unless it is already
      installed).
 
   2) Install Operation: Fighting Tiger, if you have
      it, according to the instructions provided with
      that game (unless it is already installed).
 
   3) Insert MiG-29 Disk 1 into a 3.5" floppy drive.
 
   4) At the DOS prompt, type "F3UPDATE."
 
   5) On the screen which appears, you will be given
      the choice to "Continue" or "Quit." Select
      "Continue" to go on.
 
   6) A warning appears, telling you that all your
      squadrons will be deleted if you continue. You
      are given the choice to "Continue" or "Quit."
      Select "Continue" to go on with the Falcon 3.02
      update.
 
   7) The Falcon 3.02 update program now searches your
      hard drive for Falcon 3.0. When it finds it, it
      says "Falcon 3.0 found in:" followed by the path
      to the directory containing your copy of Falcon
      3.0. Edit this path if it is wrong or if you have
      another copy of Falcon 3.0 you wish to update
      instead of the one found.
 
   8) At the bottom of the screen are four buttons:
      "Install," "Search," "View" and "Quit." "Quit"
      aborts the Falcon 3.02 update. "View" brings up
      this Readme file. "Search" continues the search
      for other copies of Falcon 3.0 by checking other
      drives or directories. Select "Install" to
      continue the Falcon 3.02 update.
 
   9) The Falcon 3.02 updater will begin updating
      Falcon 3.0 to version 3.02. You can abort the
      Falcon 3.02 update by pressing CTRL-BREAK.
 
  10) Partway through, your computer will beep and you
      will be asked to insert Disk 2. You will then be
      given the choice to "Continue..." or "Quit."
      Remove Disk 1 and insert Disk 2 in the same drive
      Disk 1 was in. Select the "Continue..." button.
 
   When the Falcon 3.02 updater is finished, it will
   beep. Press any key to exit to DOS.
 
   Type "CHECKVER" at the DOS prompt. You should see
   the following line (in addition to other
   information, such as whether Operation: Fighting
   Tiger or MiG-29 are installed and how much memory
   you have available).

 TROUBLESHOOTING
*******************************************************
 
   If there are problems with the MiG-29 installer or
   Falcon 3.02 updater, you will see one of several
   possible error messages. These messages are listed
   below.
 
 Error messages
   ERROR - NOT ENOUGH CONVENTIONAL MEMORY AVAILABLE
     You do not have enough conventional memory free to
     use the MiG-29 installer or Falcon 3.02 updater.
     This message is extremely unlikely, since both the
     MiG-29 installer and Falcon 3.02 updater only
     require 250K of free conventional memory to run.
     Refer to your Release Notes and Communications
     Handbook from Falcon 3.0 for tips on managing your
     memory.
 
   ERROR - DISK SPACE NOT AVAILABLE ON DRIVE:
     This message will be followed by the path to the
     drive and directory to which you are attempting to
     install MiG-29 or update Falcon 3.0. The solution
     is to make sure you have enough free space on
     your hard drive. The disk space you will need to
     have free depends on what you have already
     installed and whether you are updating to Falcon
     3.02 or installing MiG-29.
 
     MiG-29 installation
       Falcon 3.0 and Operation: Fighting Tiger   5MB
 
       Falcon 3.0 only                            6MB
 
     Falcon 3.02 update
       Falcon 3.0 and Operation: Fighting Tiger   5MB
 
       Falcon 3.0 only                            6MB
 
   ERROR - CANNOT LOCATE FILE (filename) ON DISK
     This message will be followed by the name of
     whatever disk you are trying to install to or
     update from. The word "(filename)" above will be
     replaced by whatever file the MiG-29 installer or
     Falcon 3.02 updater is seeking. This message
     appears most often when the wrong disk is put in
     the drive. The solution is to switch floppy disks
     so that the proper disk is being used.
 
     If you have the correct disk in the floppy drive
     and still get this message, write down what file
     it is looking for and call Customer Support at
     (510)522-1164.
 
   ERROR - INVALID VERSION
     This message appears if the MiG-29 installer or
     Falcon 3.02 updater cannot find certain files
     that should exist in a functioning, legitimate
     copy of Falcon 3.0.
 
     One likely possibility, especially if you have a
     backup copy of FALCON3.EXE, is that the MiG-29
     installer or Falcon 3.02 updater is trying to
     install or update to a directory that only
     contains FALCON3.EXE. If this is so, quit the
     MiG-29 installation or Falcon 3.02 update and
     restart it. When you are given the option to edit
     the path it will install or update to, type in the
     path to a full working copy of Falcon 3.0.
 
     Another possibility is that your FALCON3 directory
     has had some of its files removed. In this case,
     the solution is to quit the MiG-29 installer or
     Falcon 3.02 updater, delete all the files from
     your FALCON3 directory (or whatever directory your
     copy of Falcon 3.0 is in), and re-install Falcon
     3.0 (followed by Operation: Fighting Tiger if you
     have it). Then run the MiG-29 installer or Falcon
     3.02 updater as appropriate.
 
   ERROR - CANNOT INSTALL TO (drive, usually A: or B:)
     This message appears if you try to install to a
     floppy drive or if you try to install to drive A
     or B. If you want to install to drive A or B, you
     may have to use the Manual Installation procedure
     below. Otherwise, the best solution is to be sure
     that Falcon 3.0 is on a hard drive and that you
     have specified the proper drive and directory for
     MiG-29 installation.
 
   DATA ERROR READING DRIVE (drive, usually A: or B:)
     This message appears if there is a disk error on
     one of your install or update disks. Call
     Customer Support at (510)522-1164 for a
     replacement disk.
 
 Manual MiG-29 installation
   If you are having trouble installing MiG-29, you can
   manually perform the MiG-29 installation using one 
   of the following procedures. Follow the instructions
   appropriate to your setup, as different files are
   needed depending on what is already installed on
   your system. All directions assume you are
   installing from floppy drive A to the FALCON3 
   directory on drive C. If you are using different 
   drives or directories, substitute as appropriate.
