- The Daedalus Encounter v1.2 update
-
- This update supercedes all previous software patches and updates!

- Installation

- This file should have been unzipped to the C:\DAEDALUS directory (or
- wherever you installed Daedalus). All you need to do once the patch
- files are unzipped is go to your Daedalus directory and run the PATCH.BAT
- program by simply typing "PATCH" at the DOS command line. The Daedalus
- v1.2 files will then be automatically installed.
