			---------------------		
			  

Description 
------------

This program enables people who cannot access the Internet at home (Including UBI ONLINE), to add new tracks and cars to the retail
version of POD. It will allow you to download new files and save them on disks, in order to transfert them to computers that do not have Internet connections.


I. Installation of the program
------------------------------

Simply extract the "PODpatch.zip" file into the directory of your
choice.

Note : The file was compressed with Winzip for Windows 95(TM).


II. Copy of the car and track files 
---------------------------------


	1. Unzip the new tracks or cars files in the directory where 	   you have installed the "PODpatch" program. If you are using
	   pkunzip, please be sure to use the "-d" option to
	   extract the whole tree structure.

	2. Double-click the "CDpatcher.exe" Icon.
	

III. Adding new cars and tracks
---------------------------------------------

There should be 3 main areas in the window :

	- the "Present Set Data" area is where the original
	  tracks or cars (depending on your selection) are
	  displayed.

	- the "New Proposed Data" area is where you can find a list of  	  the new cars or tracks that you have just unziped in the
	  directory.

	- the "Added Data" displays the additional files that you
	  have already installed, if any.		

To install a new car or track, 

	1. Select the file(s) in the "New Proposed Data" area.
	2. Once your selection is complete, click the 
	   "PREPARE INSTALLATION" button. The list of the selected
	   file(s) appears in the "Added Data" area with the <.temp>
	   extension. 
	3. Press the "INSTALL NEW DATA" button to install the new
           files. The <inst> extension will now replace the <temp>
           extension.
	4. Close the "CDpatcher" program.
	5. Launch POD.
	
		
Notes :

- It is possible to delete an extra car or track by pressing
  the "DELETE DATA" button.

- It is possible to have a preview of the car or track by selecting
  it and pressing the "PREVIEW DATA" button.
