DESCRIPTION

This is a cumulative update to update2; specifically, it applies to these
versions of BOH (see the "READ NOTES" page from the main menu):
 * AmigaOS: 20090506.2217-AOS4
 * MacOS: 20090516.1750-MOSX
 * Windows: 2009506.2215-WDOZ

This update:
 * adds a direction indicator to the map;
 * allows to create chains of teleports of any lenght;
 * allows to specify the ambient illumination on a per-floor basis (several
   missions have been modified to take advantage of this);
 * allows to add (optionally localized) synopses to missions;
 * takes note of the total playing time of each mission and of the whole game;
 * allows to restart the last failed mission without returning to the menu;
 * adds support of joypad axes;
 * allows to confirm/reject the name entered by means of joypad buttons;
 * adds [ALT]+[F4] support (Windows only);
 * fixes the countdown ticking (the sample was not played when the time limit
   was less than 1 minute);
 * improves/updates the user's manual;
 * adds the latest expansions;
 * applies some other changes.

Note that since the concept of playing time is introduced only with this update,
there is no way to calculate the previous times; however, the updater will use
the current records as starting point.


INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make sure BOH is completely and correctly installed and updated, and that you
   have full rights to read, write and delete files in its directory.
2. Unpack the archive this file is contained in.
3. On Windows Vista/7, log in as the system administrator*.
4. Launch the updater suitable for your system.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions.

*If the system administrator is hidden you need to "activate" it (search
Microsoft's website for details). Please note that the update might (partially)
fail if executed as another user, even if in administrator mode.

Before starting the update it is highly recommendable to make a full backup of
the installed game so that it can be restored in case of failure.
Should you experience problems, please send a detailed report along with the
text output by the updater.
