REGISTERED USERS:
  You MUST completely re-install the game, either to floppy disk
  or to harddisk. Please delete all Mipric stuff installed on
  your harddisk and make sure that there's no MIPRIC: assign.
  If this assign is made in your user-startup, delete it.
  Enter also ASSIGN MIPRIC: REMOVE in your shell to make really
  sure that there's no MIPRIC: drawer. With valid MIPRIC: assign
  or older system/game files on your harddisk, it might be
  that the games do not work after the installation process.
  Check out the documentation for more info about installing.

P.S.: Thanks for the many, many, many registrations. I always
      thought, interactive novels were dead... :-)))


WELCOME TO MIPRIC STORY SYSTEM 3
--------------------------------

The Mipric Story System is a system for creating + running classic
interactive novels. From version 3.00 on, you can not only play
Mipric, but also Infocom V3+4 games. Several special Mipric games
are availible as well. MUI turns the MIPRIC Interpreter into the
ultimate interpreter for Infocom stories!!!
NOTE: This archive just contains the interpreter. You'll also need
      an interactive novel, either an Infocom type 3 or 4 game,
      or a Mipric game. Currently availible Mipric games are The
      Timeless Empire and The Ice Princess. For more information
      about these games, read the .readme's of those archives
      (Mipric_TEI.lha and (Mipric_IP.lha).

From this release on, the Mipric Story System is split up into several
archives to allow disk users to unpack it to disk and to update single
parts of the story system.
The archives are:
  Mipric_Basic.lha    - The basic package with interpreter and tools.
  Mipric_<key>_x.lha  - These are the Mipric games. <key> stands for
                        the short name of a game. E.g., "TEI" stands
                        for "The Timeless Empire I", while "IP" stands
                        for "The Ice Princess". 'x' is the current
                        release number, so that you can easily identify
                        updates.
