           - PAL copylocked release (Seppo Seppala)

VERSION 1.1: (17-Sep-2003)
- Supports another copylocked version (thanks to Seppo!)

CHEAT MODE:
- Taken from Sweet Cheater by Keith Krellwitz!
- On the title screen, type "HAMBURGER".  The word {Cheat} will appear
  below the credits.  Press your joystick button to start and then
  during play you can press any of the following keys:

          'F1'________________Starts you where you currently are
          'F2'______________Starts you at location of explosives
          'F3'______Starts you at the bridge you need to blow up
          'F4'_________Starts you at the village (hidden tunnel)
          'F5'________________________________Invulnerability on
          'F6'_______________________________Invulnerability off

  If you also type "-HILL" (where the hyphen is the minus on the keypad)
  after you have typed "HAMBURGER", it will activate a second cheat.
  When the credit screen re-appears the words {MEGA CHEAT} will appear.

  NOTE:  Don't use the shield when going through the trapdoor!


Activate the trainer by adding the tooltype CUSTOM1=1.  When activated, the
built in mega-cheat will be activated when the game begins and I have added
an invulnerability cheat for the final level.  Be aware that you can still
run out of time!

In theory a well cracked version of the game should work with this install
but the only version I tested is the Vision Factory/Beyonders release which
is corrupt.  The stupid cracker put the intro over the final level so the
game crashes.  The install will detect a non supported version and should
quit cleanly.

Greetings to Chris, Markus, Tony and Seppo for the originals, Wepl for
WHDLoad, all Action members and the entire WHDLoad team!
