This patch updates the Hard Disk version of 'The Legend of the Elves' 
to version 1.5. It can be used with any version of the game (from 
v1.0 to v1.4).

To update your copy of the game, simply double-click the icon labelled
'Install'. The installer uses the Amiga Installer program which must 
be installed in your search path (usually in C:) for the Install 
script to launch. (Installer is not supplied with this archive, so 
you must obtain it from Aminet (util/misc/Installer-43.3.lha) or a 
similar source if you do not already have the program on your Hard 
Drive.) Once running, simply follow the instructions to install the 
game. Click the Help button if you don't understand anything.
