1.  Patch Version 1.1 Information

Version 1.1 fixes the following bugs:

It's no longer necessary to run the Cyrix helper programs 
(686_p.exe or cpuiden.exe)for MMVI to run on Cyrix systems.

Gharik's Forge Key - If the door requiring the key was opened and the
dungeon respawned, the door would not open again.  This will no longer
occur, and in games where it has already happened, clicking on the door's
lever will now open the door.

Twillen's Statue Quest - The wolf statue was taken by the eagle pedestal
and the eagle statue was taken by the wolf pedestal.  Also the dragon
pedestal moved.  These issues were fixed.  In games where the wolf has been
taken by the eagle pedestal or the eagle by the wolf pedestal already,
clicking on the wolf pedestal will take the eagle statue and clicking on the
eagle pedestal will take the wolf statue so you can complete the quest.

The seer now returns the Ritual of the Void scroll correctly.  If you
have lost this scroll the Seer will now return it.

The Fire Lord's giving you unlimited experience and the Obelisk giving you 
unlimited money has been corrected.  Also, you can no longer get an "extra" Sherell.
Problems with the Great and Arch Druid quests have been fixed.

The Learning, Mace and Staff skills have been corrected and the right
click text for the Learning skill is now correct.

Problems with the Enchant Item, Golden Touch, Shared Life, Starburst, 
Meteor Swarm, and Armageddon spells have been corrected.  A bug with the
Enchant Item and Golden Touch scrolls was corrected.

The auto notes dealing with the locations of the memory crystals and
Winston Schezar have been corrected.  The third eye quest is now removed
from your quest log when you complete the quest.

Problems with skills boosted over 60 by items have been fixed, as well as
crash bug with characters with high stats.

"of Force" and "of Recovery" items now work correctly.

Various interface problems have been fixed, some which would cause the 
game to unexpectedly exit.

Keyboard Controls.  After the user manual was printed, several new game 
keys were added or enhanced:

"B" - causes the active character to pass his turn in combat.
"Y" - causes the active character to yell.
"S" - now causes the active character to (in this order): 
	1) Cast a Quick Spell if a character has one set.
	2) Shoot a bow, crossbow or wand.
	3) Attack as the "A" key.

Main Adventure Screen.  Moving your mouse cursor over the day or night
sky next to the automap causes the current game time to appear in the 
status bar above your character portraits.

learn their name, profession, and condition.

3.  User Manual Errata

Page 18.  The "B", "S" and "Y" keys work as described above.

Page 27.  A master dagger fighter has a chance to do triple damage rather 
	  than having a chance of killing a surprised opponent.

Page 28.  You may equip and use unidentified items.

Page 36.  There is no Join button.  Click on a NPC to initiate a
	  conversation.  Select the Join topic to have the NPC join your
	  party.  You may have to Beg, Threaten or Bribe certain NPCs to
	  get them to join your party.  There are no Wandering Trainers
	  in the game.

Page 38.  Ctrl-Clicking on a monster only cast spells on opponents.  If 
	  you have a quick spell that does not affect monsters you will 
	  need to press the "S" key to cast the spell.

Page 40.  The experience points required to advance to the next level is
	  your current level number x 1000.  I.E. to go from 3rd to 4th
	  level would take 3,000 experience points.

	  based on the character's skill in Light Magic.

Page 54.  Armageddon costs 150 spell points to cast.
