1. Installation:
  The installer-script was removed in this release. But the
  installation is very simple:

  a)  If you have installed a previous version of Wildfire:
       *delete the whole Wildfire-drawer except your personal
        data like images, animations, ...
       *goto case b)
       *move your data back into the generated Wildfire-drawer

  b)  You have no version of the program installed:
       *extract the archieve
       *move the config-file from the "envarc"-drawer into "envarc:"
       *move the xpk-libraries from the "libs"-drawer into "libs:"
        if you don't have them
       *delete the "libs" and the "envarc"-drawer
       *add a line like
         "assign wf: work:grafix/Wildfire defer"
        to your user-startup

2. The supplied config-file is the one I use. If the program
   doesn't start the reason may be a missing font or screenmode.
   In such case Wildfire will switch to "PAL" and the
   "topaz"-font. If this doesn't work because of any
   reason change the following lines of the config-file manually:

    prDefScreenMode=233508
    prDefFont=XHelvetica.font
    prDefFontSize=11

3. The documentation has reached a first complete level now.
   All documentation for the Wildfire program is hold in
   the file "wf:doc/Wildfire.guide". This path may *not* be
   changed because this file is used by the Online-help-functions
   of the program, too.
   All documentation about the YAFA-format and the YAFA-player
   is hold in the file "wf:doc/YAFA.guide".

4. Bug-reports and *real* suggestions are welcome at
    epgbc@cluster1.urz.Uni-Halle.DE .

   What's a "real suggestion" ?
    "Could you add a MagicWB-color-preset to the Prefs-editor ?"
   surely *not* .

5. This version seems to work very stable on all configurations
   now, have a look at the FAQ if you have any problems to
   start the program.

6. All new features are listed in the history-file.

7. If you are one of the XPK-authors send your complete address
   to the author to receive a free registered keyfile.
