1.  Installing the patch for FIFA Road To World Cup 98

Using PKUNZIP, unzip the files (ensuring that the subdirectories are copied, 
i.e. pkunzip -d fifap.zip ) to the directory where FIFA RTWC 98 was installed 
(note : default install directory is "Program Files\EA SPORTS\FIFA RTWC 98" ). 

This will update the AI and allow users to utilize D3D-capable cards.

AI improvements include:
-improved onside logic
-improved breakaway logic
-formation improvements
-CPU shooting logic improvements

2.  Using the D3D version of the game

To use the D3D version, run FIFA from a DOS box with the '-d3d' option:

ie, FIFARTWC -D3D 

This has been tested on ATI Rage PRO cards and nVidia Riva128 cards.
It may also work on other D3D cards with at least 4 Megs of texture memory.
(Although the D3D version does work on 16mb machines, it will run better on machines 
with more memory)

If you have a 3Dfx or PowerVR based 3D accelerator, do not use the -D3D option. 

3.  Multiplayer Game Concerns

To prevent out-of-sync errors after the patch is installed, ensure that all 
participants in network or modem games have installed the patch.
