update will prompt you for the location of the game (where to
install the patch), so have this information available before
double-clicking on the update file.
WINDOWS 95

installation.
DOS
In this example, we have Rebel Assault installed on our
"C" drive and in the "Rebel" directory. Type
"reb18.exe c:\Rebel" and hit the ENTER key. Before the
decompression process can begin, you will receive a prompt that
states "Unzip file? [Y|N]", hit the "Y" key to
continue.
Corrects: This patch is intended to fix
"Unexpected Interrupt" errors, joystick jumpiness, running
on dark monitors, running sound cards at dma 0, and some dos
extender incompatibilities.1) Unexpected InterruptsTo fix Unexpected
Interrupt errors that occur on some machines when running Rebel
Assault version 1.0, this patch includes version 1.8 of DOS4GW,
which will be copied into the REBEL\ directory on your C: drive.
This replaces version 1.92, which shipped with Rebel Assault 1.0.
Version 1.8 seems more compatible with some machines. However, if
you have new problems after installing this patch, you can copy
DOS4GW.EXE from your CD and run the patch as directed to take
advantage of the joystick fix only.2) Joystick PatchTo fix joystick
jumpiness, this patch includes a new version of ASSAULT.EXE, which
will be copied to the REBEL\ directory on your C: drive. In
addition, the joystick shooting controls have been made less
sensitive.If you still have joystick problems, make sure only one
joystick port is enabled on your machine, preferably the one on your
sound card. Also, center the trimmer adjustments on your joystick to
make sure you are using its full range of movement.3) Brightness
controlsIn addition, the new ASSAULT.EXE contains a brightness
control, which you can access during the game with the '.' and ','
keys.4) Running with more that 16 Megabytes of memoryThis disk also
contains DOS4GW version 1.95, which may fix problems running Rebel
on some machines with more than 16 megabytes of memory. Install this
version by typing "rebel2" as described below.
Notes: Now in the future, run the game
by typing "REBEL" from the REBEL directory on your C:
drive, NOT from your CD drive.
