This is patch updates descent.hog and descent.pig from version 1.0 to version 1.4a.
D1X-Rebirth 0.56 and higher do NOT REQUIRE this anymore but in case you want to use an older version or for
anything else, feel free to use it.

Please note that this patch will ONLY work on UNMODIFIED game content in version 1.0 registered (not Shareware).
Also note that this patch is only intended to update descent.hog and descent.pig. If you apply it to your
MS-DOS version, it might corrupt it!

* descent.hog.diff -> patch-file for descent.hog
* descent.pig.diff -> patch-file for descent.pig
* datapt.bat + datapt.exe -> applies diff files - only needed on Windows
* README.TXT -> this file


Before you try to apply this patch DO NOT forget to backup your original files!

How to apply this patch:
1) Copy your descent.hog and descent.pig to the directory where the all the files described above are located

ON WINDOWS:
2) MAKE SURE DESCENT.HOG and DESCENT.PIG are NOT WRITE-PROTECTED. Then double click on datapt.bat

ON LINUX/other *NIX (and all other platforms providing the 'patch'-utility):
2) In this directory type the following commands:
   patch -p0 < descent.hog.diff descent.hog

  (package 'patch' is required)
