    Pool of Radiance 1.3 Patch Readme
    12/17/01

    Description:

    The Pool of Radiance 1.3 Patch fixes many game play bugs and game balance problems in both single player and multiplayer.
    The 1.3 Patch is compatible with Pool of Radiance 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2. However, the 1.3 patch does not include the 1.1 installer/uninstaller patch. We recommend you use the 1.1 installer/uninstaller patch to uninstall 1.1 and 1.2 versions of Pool of Radiance.
