RELEASE         DATE            PROBLEM AND/OR ENHANCEMENTS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1               DEC 18          First release.

1.1             DEC 20          Improved Documentation.  Added a revision 
                                history and a quick start guide.  Improved 
                                the artwork.  Also fixed a minor problem, 
                                and revised some text and character 
                                interaction sequences.  

1.2             FEB 5, 1994     Did a graphical overhaul.  Fixed a 
                                minor problem with the objects, and
                                another minor problem with the portal  
                                guardian.  I rewrote some portions of
                                the *.txt files and added N_FUTURE.TXT.
                                I also fixed the bug that allowed players
                                to bribe some guards with $0!  

1.2B            OCT 14, 1995    I was privileged to be one of the
                                beta-testers for DCGames version 4.
                                At the same time, I was able to procure
                                my "own" FTP site.  This re-release of the
                                original game is intended to make DBQuest
                                available to more people.  The game engine,
                                graphics and sound remain the same as in
                                version 1.2.  Only the documentation has
                                changed to reflect my new internet e-mail
                                address (a few typos were also corrected).
                                I hope that this re-release will generate
                                some excitement for the up and coming
                                DBQuest Two!  DBQuest 2 will take full
                                advantage of the latest DCGames engine &
                                compiler, while the current game (DBQuest 1)
                                will be left on the older DCGames engine
                                (version 3.0x).

1.21B            March 2005 - updated readme.txt file to reflect new email and web addresses.
