2. Installing The Patch
In order for the new exe to run properly, you must have

Copy the 3 patch files (PATCH.RTP, PATCH.RTD and PATCH.EXE
to the Heroes directory (i.e. c:\Heroes).
Type

The patch should process automatically. The only visible indication of
a change is that the opening text will now read

You are now ready to go. Have fun!!!
*****************************************************************************
3. Running under DOS
DOS users are still encouraged to disable EMM386 when running Heroes.
To do so:
1. Type EMM386 OFF at your command prompt
If EMM386 reports InActive then Heroes should run properly.
Note: You will need to type EMM386 OFF everytime you reboot
your computer.
or 2. Try REMing out EMM386 in your CONFIG.SYS:
type the following at your command prompt and hit ENTER.
EDIT C:\CONFIG.SYS
(This will edit your system configuration)
find the line
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE
or the like and add to the front of the line REM ... i.e.
REM DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE
go to the File Menu and Select Exit and answer YES to save
the changes.
If you need to re-install EMM386 for any reason you can remove
the REM at the front of the line.
You will need to re-boot your computer for this change to take
effect.
*****************************************************************************
4. Running under Windows 95
While Heroes of Might and Magic should run fine on most Windows 95
setups, if you have problems, try running Windows 95 in MS-DOS mode.
To do so, in Windows 95, click on
Start - ShutDown - Restart the Computer in MS-DOS mode.
