      - Changed to Sci-tech's UniVESA version 5.3.
      - Updated the HELP system.
      - Added IPX Network compatibility.  This addition will allow network
        play without requiring a shared directory and will also allow play
        over the internet through an IPX compatible server such as KALI.
        See below or refer to the updated HELP system for more information.
      - Added wind state to recorded games.
      - Added a new "Recorded Players" dialog to allow the review of all
        recorded games. To access this dialog, click the RECORDED PLAYERS
        button on Options, Course Selection, or the Player Selection screen.
        Refer to the updated Help system for more information on this new
        dialog and how to determine if a recorded game is compatible with
        your version of Links LS.  (See the Note below.)
      - Adjusted ball dynamics to dis-allow extra long rolls and to produce
        more realistic flight conditions out of the rough and sand.

        NOTE: This change in the ball dynamics invalidates all previous
              recorded games and saved shots.  A new dialog has been added
              to help players review data for all recorded games and determine
              whether the games are compatible.  To access this dialog, click
              the RECORDED PLAYERS button on Options, Course Selection, or the
              Player Selection screen.
