WIZARD'S ARENA -- RELEASE 1.26
                   (C) Copyright 1991 by Douglas Summers

                       UPGRADING FROM OLDER VERSIONS


   There are a LOT of major changes between 1.13 and this release;
   in summary:
       
     *  Configuration is now done via a CONFIG.WA file
     *  Daily maintenance can now be run as a standalone
        (for example, during your BBS's nightly mail runs)
     *  The '?' command has changed somewhat
     *  A fair number of bug fixes
     *  New weapons! (slings and crossbows)
     *  New monsters! (Orcs and Ogres)
     *  New spells!
     *  New configuration options


   Upgrading from an older version of WIZARD'S ARENA is pretty easy.
   Just run UPGRADE.EXE in the directory that your databases are in;
   they'll be quickly upgraded to the latest format.

   It is vitally necessary that you block anyone from trying to
   run the game while you're running UPGRADE.  If someone enters
   the game while UPGRADE is running, you'll almost certainly
   destroy the databases.

   UPGRADE will show that it is "Upgrading from 1.xx to 1.xx", and
   will work its way to the current version.  Don't be alarmed if
   there are several.

   This will generate a CONFIG.WA file for you, if you don't already
   have one.  The game no longer accepts command-line parameters for
   configuration, so edit the CONFIG.WA file to reflect the customization
   options you want.  Of course, if you aren't registered, these will
   be limited.

   DON'T UNZIP DATABASE.ZIP.  It's got virgin databases in it, and
   it'll overwrite your current maps.  Keep it around, anyway; if
   you need to start the game over, just unzip it and voila! a new
   game.  

   You can delete the old GENERIC.SYS, if you like -- the newer
   version of the game uses the DOOR.SYS file instead.
