Changes from Ripper v1.03 to Ripper v1.05:     [July 30 1996]

  - Added a workaround for a buggy CD-ROM driver (from Mitsumi) that mostly
    affected Compaq Presario and Hewlett Packard computers with S3 Trio
    video chipsets (this has nothing to do with the video card or chipset).

  - Added command line option to select your Ripper.  To use, type one of:

        RIPPER /1
        RIPPER /2
        RIPPER /3
        RIPPER /4

    to start the game and use a particular Ripper.  This can be combined with
    other command line options (i.e., RIPPER /1 /V3).


Changes from Ripper v1.02 to Ripper v1.03:     [March 29 1996]

  - Added command line options to INSTALL, SETUP, and RIPPER to disable
    support for Vesa 2.0, disable use of protected mode bank switching code,
    or both.  Use /V1, /V2, or /V3 (respectively) to disable these features.
    Example:
               RIPPER /V3
    This will run Ripper, disabling support for both Vesa 2.0 and protected
    mode bank switching code.

    You can still use the /V option to force Ripper to run in 480 line mode.

    If you experience black screens or apparent lock ups, try this:
              RIPPER /V /V3

  - RIPPER now prints out the error number that DOS reports when it gets
    a CD read error.  This should help Take 2's technical support staff to
    diagnose the problem.


Changes from Ripper v1.01A to Ripper v1.02:    [March 16, 1996]

  - Fixed restore game problem where it would delete the contents of the
    W.A.C. notebook.

  - Corrected problem that could cause graphic glitches behind the mouse
    cursor on Tseng video chips.


Changes from Ripper v1.01 to Ripper v1.01A:    [March 11, 1996]


Changes from Ripper v1.0 to Ripper v1.01:      [March 8, 1996]

  - Prints the version number when you quit the game.

  - Fixed problems relating to Vesa 2.0 drivers.  This, in particular, caused
    various display problems for different parts of the game on the Matrox
    Millenia video card.

  - Fix various problems relating to bad values in C:\TAKE2.INI and
    RIPPER.INI.

  - Exit gracefully if there isn't a CD in the CD-ROM drive when you start
    the game.

  - Fixed several problems with the WAC Notebook.

  - Implemented ripper choice cycling.  This will guarantee a different
    ripper each time you start a game until all 4 possible Rippers have been
    selected.  Then it resets and randomly selects the next one (for the 5th
    new game).  To have it randomly choose from all 4 suspects, delete the
    SETTINGS.DEF file.
