GPL and Windows98 solution

Since so many have problem with GPL demo and Win98, here is how I made it
work:

First uninstall GPL demo if you have used the normal install procedure.

1. Unpack the gpldemo.exe to c:\gpl using winzip. (Dont run the file)
2. Copy wininet.dll from c:\gpl to c:\gpl\program
3. Make c:\gpl\program\controls directory
4. Make c:\gpl\program\replay directory
5. Make c:\gpl\program\options.ini writable (Properties, uncheck Write-only)
6. Start the game from c:\gpl\program\gpl.exe
7. Calibrate joystick/wheel. Exit program before "entering" the car
8. Copy the options.ini from c:\gpl\program\controls to c:\gpl\program
directory
9. edit c:\gpl\program\options.ini to reflect the 3dcard you use
    lastRasterizerDLL = rast3dfx.dll               (if you have 3dfx card)
10. Make c:\gpl\program\options.ini read only.
11. Start the game. It should now hopefully be working

Hope this helps
