DESCRIPTION:
Creates a diskette containing an update to fix the problem of starting 
Magic Carpet using the Magic Carpet icon from the Start menu (K?ynnist?-
valikko/Viihde/Magic Carpet/Magic Carpet), from My Computer, or from a 
shortcut.

Magic Carpet is a DOS-based game.  Its original properties are set for 
"MS-DOS mode," which forces the computer to shutdown and restart in 
MS-DOS mode when the Magic Carpet icon is selected and the user responds 
"Yes" to the warning displayed about closing all other programs.  The 
system shuts down Windows 95 but is unable to start Magic Carpet in 
MS-DOS mode and restarts Windows 95.

This patch solves the problem by allowing Magic Carpet to run in a DOS 
window within Windows 95.  It changes the program's properties to 
"Suggest MS-DOS mode as necessary."

HOW TO USE:

1.  Obtain a formatted 1.44-MB diskette.

You will be prompted to place the formatted 1.44-MB diskette into a 
diskette drive to create the diskette.

4.  After the diskette is created, you may delete the downloaded file 
SP2818.EXE if you wish.

5.  Refer to README.TXT on the diskette for instructions on installing 
and using the software.
