Dear reader,							19-05-2000

Installing this patch is quite easy:

    -	Download the VICE 1.4 source distribution from:
	http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dsladic/vice/	
    -	Decompress and extract the tarball (tar zxfv vice-?.tar.gz)
    -	Replace src/sid/sid.c with the one supplied in this archive
    -	Switch back to the main VICE directory
    -	Do a: ./configure && make && make install to compile and install VICE
    
You should be set now. Be sure to run VICE as root as the patch requires
direct access to /dev/port. You could make /dev/port public, but this isn't
really such a good idea (fat security hole).

If you still want to run it as a regular user, i recommend (sort of) to make the
x64 executable setuid. You can do this by doing: chmod +s /usr/local/bin/x64
The program can now be run as normal user, including HardSID support, but the
program will run with root priveleges! You have been warned.

Thanks to Rainer Sinsch for this great patch!
