   1. patch.dat    - data to patch dmb2.exe
   2. patch.exe    - BrainPatch utility
   3. dmb2.hlp     - updated on-line help file

                         \==================/

There are two steps to patch the program:

   1. Unzip the patch zip file into the DMB2 directory and replace 
      replace older files.

   2. Run PATCH.EXE from the command line or from windows.

The patch program (BrainPatch) will check the current dmb2.exe file so see
that it is correct.  Then it will mix the contents of patch.dat and dmb2.exe
together.  Once the new file has been verified, the old dmb2.exe file will
be deleted and replaced with the new one.  Upon completing, the files
patch.exe and patch.dat will automatically be deleted for you.
