Summary0004273: 1. The installer aborts (instead of warn) if the Installer is outdated. This
DescriptionGameVersion: french,pal,1 disk
SlaveVersion: 1.0 from 20.05.2000

1. The installer aborts (instead of warn) if the Installer is outdated. This makes uninstallable under OS 2.05 (although all other installs work). I had to manually edit the source the change the abort to a warn, and comment out 'openwbobject' lines to make it work.
2. the basememsize I believe is wrong, it is set to 81000 whereas I believe it should be 80000. I purchased and ran this game on a 512KB chip ram machine back in the days without any problems, therefore I believe the WHDLoad version should only require that amount and not more.
As a test, I recompiled the source and re-installed the game, and it ran flawlessly with 80000 instead of 81000 basememsize. But this was a very quick and dirty test, I am not sure if the slave source needs to be updated more thoroughly.
At the very least, it should be fixed to the above 2 issues.
Thank you
