                               ------------
              The coder of this program will not be responible
              for any damage caused to software/hardware by
              using this program.



History :
---------

v1.00 (bug-version)
The only release so far.  It's not a very bright program yet, coz I made it
i a hurry.  All it does for now is, delete the resets the first save game
(game00.iff) and gives it 16,777,215 credits.


v1.01 (bug-fix)
The only release so far.  It's not a very bright program yet, coz I made it
i a hurry.  All it does for now is, delete the resets the first save game
(game00.iff) and gives it 16,777,215 credits.


v1.01-1.4 :
Experimental version that you wouldn't wont to have on your disk ;)


v1.5 :
Here comes the first free edit version of the program.  This means that you
can add money/credits to any save game what so every.  The only draw-back is
this, and this is VERY important : It only works when the save game in the
P.A.D ( Personal Access Directory ) ( the thing you get when you press P )
has a name EQUAL to five characters.  This means that you must save your
game with a name like : BLAIR or BECKY or FRANK.
                        12345    12345    12345
Why? Well, it's to complex for must you anyway, so I wont explain....
What else is new ? Well instead of a shit load of files, now there is only
one file req. to cheat the game, this means less space on our disk ;)


This archive :
--------------
This Archive must contain the following files, if it does not, contact the
author, the adress is listet at the buttom of this info.

README.                 This file
README.EXE              The view file for this file
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unzip all the files in the \DARK main dir.


How to use :
------------
If you have used previews versions ssof my cheat, you might remember
that v1.01 couln't edit a game already started on, this version 
however can.  All you have to do is run the executable called P2CREDS.EXE
and it will ask what save-game to cheat. NOW there is a little flaud in
this version as well, any why ? Well, if you want to wait, to three 
mounths for a perfect version, that okey, but for those of you that
can take the trouble of making ONE little adjustment to your save game,
here it comes....
In order to have the cheat you must call the save-game a name that EQUALS
FIVE (5) characters in your PAD.

EX :
In the game, if your save-game if call 'Jake on Hermes with Melissa'
then select save and call it : 'JAKEH'
                                12345

or
In the game, if your save-game if call 'Bill on pirate station'
then select save and call it : 'BILLP'
                                12345


Well, you get the rest...
If you try to  start the game without doing this, then you'll destory
your save game, most likley, or it might hang at an important location ;)
(it happend to me ;)


Future Plans and notes :
------------------------
It got the game 11.12.96, and have played it one for a couple for days.        
Something I'm missing is the lack of keyboard control in the flight sim.
To what goes to say on future releases on this cheat and others like it
relay and what kind of feed back I get on this version.  In english this
means that if you want more features on this cheat, like ship edit's or
a save game-editor, I'll be more than happy to make it, as long as you
