SWIV 3DFX Patch (Windows95 only)
                  --------------------------------

       (c) Copyright 1997 SCi (Sales Curve Interactive) Ltd.

This patch upgrades the European Windows95 version of SWIV 3D to 
support the 3DFX chipset.

The original version of SWIV was shipped with DirectX 2, but
the 3DFX patch version requires DirectX 3. DirectX 3 can be
obtained from the Microsoft web-site or from Magazine cover-disks.

The Glide runtime libraries version 2.3 are also required, available
from http://www.3dfx.com

Step 1
------
If you have not already done so, SWIV should be installed as 
normal to your hard-drive. 

Step 2
------
Install DirectX 3 (not supplied) if required.

Step 3
------
Install the Glide runtime libraries v2.3

Step 4
------
The two files within this ZIP file should then be copied 
across to the SWIV Install directory (normally C:\GAMES\SWIV)

You will now have a new executable file SWIV_WFX.EXE - run
this to play the game in 3DFX mode, the original executable
SWIV_WIN.EXE will still work.


Technical Note
--------------
Some of you may be aware that we originally stated that a 3dfx
patch would be impractical, this was due to the European release
lacking important data that the hardware accelerated version
requires.  Unfortunately this would have meant redistributing
all of the level files (approximately 32 megabytes of data). 
Only recently did we discover that it was possible to generate
the additional data with some clever programming.
