oOo Release Notes oOo

POD, one of the best selling games of 1997 that CLASS already brought you
ealier in March (it was supplied by Europe's #1 duo Animal & Dogfriend)
despite the dupe attempt of HBD, returns in a newer version with more
cars, more tracks and more everything.

When it came in March POD looked shit because the 3DFX version was ripped
by both HBD & CLS since at the time no one had such hardware.

At the end of 1997 now that most of you are equipped it is a good time to
rediscover this elite game. For those who liked F1 Racing Simulator, you
should know that F1 is using the POD 3D engine.

The game was a sort of challange since it had 14 ("fourteen" YES) EXEs
which is a kind of record. Each EXE is designed for a specific hardware.

Congratulations to Yazz & Dumdi for their good work on F1 Racing Sim, and
surprise, history repeated itself with a dupe attempt of HBD. Regarding the
pathetic attacks of HBD, let us examine their November month..so far they
have 11 releases and a dupe, but among those a few require a little
explanation. COMBAT CHESS was a lame game that was available for weeks and
that no group even bothered to release since w/o the movies the game was
lame. But in their thirst for releases HBD did it. Then they did Flying
Corps Gold another interesting fuck up. The major innovation of FC Gold was
the 3DFX that HBD ripped... What a slaugher. MI 3 is certainly a nice title
but it should not have been ripped. Besides they had to cut in into pieces
to fit the disk limit. LAME...

But it was the occassion for HBD to set a world record. The largest fix
ever : 170 Mb..... Thanks for dumdi & yazz to have cleaned up the mess.
Then CARGAMEDDON was another fuck up all they had to do is to use the CLS
version that Dogfriend released a while ago which was 100% working...
And then before that F1 Racing dupe came out Dr Who a nice kiddie game.
So before you open your mouth HBD clean up your own mess!

oOo Install Notes oOo

Run INSTALL.EXE and follow the options to install to a directory of your
choice.  When complete, run WINPOD.EXE for the normal version, PODMMX.EXE
for normal MMX machines, WPOD3DFX.EXE for 3DFX cards and WPODD3D.EXE for
direct 3D h/w like the matrox Mystique. Enjoy!

oOo Cracker's Notes oOo

As many people may remember, the original POD required a few fixes before
a 100% cracked version was complete.   So we played through this one a
lot to try and ensure we had all the checks removed.  Although there were
simple checks in various locations of the game, we also had to put up
with options such as saving being disabled as well as missing files.
Due to the fact that there were so many patches required to crack each
EXE it would have taken too long to individually crack all 14.  Hence we
have included cracks for the 4 most common configurations.  Special
thanks go to Juice for his assistance in getting the game to the crackers
and to Devil for his cracking and testing of the 3D versions.

On a more serious note you may have witnessed Hybrid's disgraceful attack
on Dogfriend.  Whether this is purely out of jealousy or because of the
realisation that their dream to own November is long since gone, we'll
never know.  One thing is for sure though and that is that Dogfriend
remains one of Europe's best suppliers and crackers.  Long live the great
Dane!

On a Very Late Note, try 3 am, i would like to thank Capitano for all the
help on this one, thanks for everything you did!

wanted to thank everyone for all  the positive feedback we have received
over the past few weeks.  It's nice to know our work is appreciated.  So
