Hi All,

I know there are quite a number of people anticipating the XCOM update,
and here is the latest information from MicroProse UK:

This update, available shortly before Christmas, will upgrade the Sound &
Music in X-Com/UFO as follows;

1. Stereo FM music for OPL3 chips.
2. Full sound and music support for Gravis users.
3. Eight channel stereo digital sound for all
SoundBlaster Pros and compatibles.
4. Improved sample quality throughout game.
5. Full music support for Ultrasound, AWE32, Sound Canvas,
Soundman Wave, Soundscape and "General Midi"
6. Latest version of game.

However the game MAY now require 4Mb to run, depending on sound options
selected.

Best,
Brian/MicroProse

I missed the original post by micro...@aol.com, could somewone repost it
(or maybe even email it to me)? I'd really like to know what the "nifty
new features" are...or when we can expect the patch.
Thanks,
