-----------------------------------------------
To all sysops upgrading from previous versions:
-----------------------------------------------
Space Dynasty 3.05 has, for the first time, its own modem routines.
WWIV sysops running the old DYNASTY.EXE MUST go into //CHAINEDIT and
turn WWIV interrupts off, otherwise the game will lock up the system.
Sysops of other systems no longer need Doorway type utilities to run
the game.

The NOWRITE parameter is no longer necessary, and should not be used.

Space Dynasty 3.05 will utilize a FOSSIL driver if one is present in
memory, otherwise it will use its own modem routines. A FOSSIL driver
is still required for baud rates higher than 9600 baud.

(A FOSSIL driver is a device driver which is used by many programs for
modem communications. FOSSIL drivers (such as X00 and BNU) are
readily available in the public domain, and can either be permanently
installed on your system, or can be loaded before the game and unloaded
afterward.)


-------------------------------------------------
To sysops running Space Dynasty via WWIVNet/Link:
-------------------------------------------------
If you are upgrading from v3.04, you can simply replace your old DYNASTY.EXE.
There were no changes relating to the network portion of the game.

Sysops using versions earlier than 3.04 for net games MUST run SDINSTAL again
when upgrading.
