 This install applies to "Bard's Tale 2: The Destiny Knight" © 1988 Interplay.

 Requirements:
 -------------
 This install requires WHDLoad to be in the path.
 It can be found in the WHDLoad package.
 To install from a different drive than DF0: select installation mode Expert.

 The installed game requires 0.5 MB ChipMem
 (+1.0 MB for preload and Kickstart ROM).
 It can be quit by pressing F10 (key can be changed with Tooltype "QuitKey=").

 The game requires an installed A500 Kickstart 1.3 image.
 The kickstart image must be located in the directory "Devs:Kickstarts" and
 must be named "kick34005.A500". The image can be extracted from a A500 with
 tools like 'GrabKick' or similar which can be found on aminet.
 If the image is of wrong version or altered in any way WHDLoad will quit with
 an appropriate message.
 Additionally the file "kick34005.A500.RTB" must be installed in the same
 directory as the kickstart image. It can be found in the archive
 "util/boot/skick346.lha" on aminet.


 Features:
 ---------
 - Full load from HD
 - Support for original Bard's Tale characters
 - Supports SPS 0046 version
 - DMA wait in replayer fixed
 - Manual and solution included
 - NewIcon (created by me)
 - Source code included as usual
 - Quit option that works on 68000 machines (default key is 'F10')

 Not much to say here, after creating a proper patch for Bard's Tale I
 started to work on the patch for the successor which wasn't much work
 as there weren't any problems with the code and no protection this time
 either.

 Character disks for the original Bard's Tale and Bard's Tale 2 are supported,
 during installation you will be asked if you want to install them.

 That about wraps it up, have fun with this classic and have a happy new year
 everyone.
