1.84 upgrade and a newbies request for help.

I just made a new folder called "Space Empires IV Gold 1.84" and copied all of the files from my file called "Space Empires IV Gold 1.78"

I then unzipped the patch file into the new folder and ran the install.

I made a shortcut to the new .exe file and drug it to my desktop.

Worked great, all of the .emp files and races files are there, and I haven't had any problems.

The copying took about 12 minutes, but that's not too bad on my badly outdated computer.

This sounds like the best idea yet!

Both files will then have identical sets of data.

You can play PBW games on the old 1.78 game.

If a PBW game changes to 1.84, everything is there in the new 1.84 file to play under 1.84!

A good tip!
