the update process.



This update addresses these items :

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. WINDOWS 95 MODEM PLAY.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

     This patch improves modem play under Windows 95 for some people.
     It is still highly recommended that you turn error correct/data
     compression off on your modem with the correct initialization
     string.  Check your modem manual for more information about this.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. USR 14,400/28,800 UART SPEED.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Addresses US Robotics modem connect problems at 14,400 or 28,800
     baud.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. DIAMOND VIPER PALETTE/COLOR PROBLEM.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Addresses a special problem detected in DIAMOND VIPER video card
     support. If you experience new palette problems try adding the
     following line to the CONQUER.INI file under the [OPTIONS] section.

     [Options]
     SlowPalette=0

     Save the CONQUER.INI file with the new changes.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. MOVIES DO NOT PLAY WHEN CD IS SWAPPED.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Addresses the fact that briefings and cutscenes do not appear if
     you choose the NOD disk when playing from disk 1, or any time
     that you swap disks.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. FIXES MONEY REFUND PROBLEM WHEN SELLING SILOS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
     
     The money refunded when selling a silo was being credited
     incorrectly. This has been fixed. In order for a fixed
     version to play with an unfixed version -- possible when
     in a multiplayer game -- a special command line option
     must be used. Pass the parameter "-o" to the C&C.EXE
     executable.

7. COST OF NOD TURRETS CHANGED TO 600 CREDITS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
     
     The cost of Nod Turrets has changed to 600 credits. This
     addresses a balance issue regarding Nod turret production.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. NUCLEAR CRATE COLLECTION ALLOWS NOD NUCLEAR MISSILE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
     
     Collection of the special nuclear crates in certain Nod missions
     will allow a nuclear missile to be launched from the Temple of
     Nod in the final mission of the game.
