modifies the specialized AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files that 
are used by these games when they are started from their icons in 
the Start/Entertainment menu.

change to that directory.  The file that is downloaded is SP2842.EXE.

3.  From that drive and directory, execute the SoftPaq file:
SP2842 [ENTER]
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 
SP2842.EXE if you wish.

5.  To install the update, insert this bootable diskette in 
drive A: and restart the system.  When the files have been copied 
and a green screen is displayed, remove the diskette and restart 
the system again.  The update has now been applied.
