USING "UPDATER TO SHANGHAI II 1.04"
1. Temporarily turn off or remove any virus protection you have installed (e.g., Vaccine or GateKeeper).
2. Make a copy of Shanghai II (see your owner’s manual if necessary).
3. Double-click the “Updater to Shanghai II 1.04” application.
4. In the file dialog that appears, find and double-click the copy of Shanghai II you just made.
5. When the updating is complete, click OK.
USING “POSTCARDS DEMO”
1. Use “Updater to Shanghai II 1.04” to update your copy of Shanghai II (see above).
2. Click once on the newly updated copy of Shanghai II. Choose Get Info from the File menu. In the Get Info box that appears, double-click the number in the bottom right corner, and type 1300. Close the Get Info box.
3. Make sure you have 32-bit QuickDraw installed. If you have System 7 or any Macintosh later than a IIcx, it’s built in. Otherwise, look in your System Folder for an icon called “32-Bit QuickDraw.” It’s available from your dealer. If it’s not in the System Folder, obtain a copy, put it into the System Folder, and restart your Mac.
4. Put “Postcards Demo” into the folder called “Layouts & Tilesets” in the same place as Shanghai II. This folder was installed when you first installed Shanghai II. If it’s not there, create it and give it the exact name “Layouts & Tilesets”.
5. Use the Control Panel to set your monitor to as many colors as possible (see your owner’s manual if necessary). Double-click the updated copy of Shanghai II. Enter your full name to personalize your copy. Choose “Postcards Demo” from the Tiles menu.
6. Check the pop-up facts as described in “New Features in Shanghai II 1.04” below.

NEW FEATURES IN SHANGHAI II 1.04
•Pop-up facts are included for every tileset except Alphabet, HiLo and LoHi. Pressing the Command (Apple) key and holding the mouse button down on a tile displays a pop-up fact in a balloon, similar to System 7’s “Balloon Help” (System 7 is not required). Holding the mouse button down on a partly hidden tile while pressing the Option, Shift or Control keys displays the whole tile, as in version 1.0.
•Guide to These Tiles, Guide to Tilesets and Guide to Layouts now have a “Done” button for returning to the game, instead of returning after a single click. This allowed the addition of arrow buttons in Guide to These Tiles, for more friendly help. Clicking any tile while in Guide to These Tiles displays the tile’s pop-up fact (no keypress is needed). Hanafuda tiles now have labels.
•The program now requires only a 750K partition for the built-in tilesets, instead of 800K.
•The About... page displays Activision’s new address and phone number.
BUGS FIXED IN SHANGHAI II 1.04
•After Dark, QuickMail, Eudora and SuperClock will no longer crash when they try to beep or play sound while Shanghai II is running.
•Version 1.0 crashed under A/UX due to sound driver incompatibilities. Sound and music are now disabled under A/UX.
•Dragon’s Eye games will no longer end if a Slayer’s hand is empty and the Slayer still has legal moves on the board.
•Several small bugs that might have caused seemingly random crashes have been fixed. This includes the occasional crashes after the fourth tournament game or while showing scores during a tournament on certain configurations of Macs.
