Making it work

• patch to the latest version, if possible
• Make sure to use the CALL DOS keyword to execute the batch file(s) in order to have the DOSBox -exit switch working.
• Using the German keyboard layout (dosbox.conf [dos] keyboardlayout=gr) along the German language version of the game is highly recommended.
• When using a CD image you must use the bin/cue format, the game will not recognize the CD without the audio tracks.
