Help with IRC2 Patches

I just got in my IRC2 game. The CD has Dos/Win95/Mac versions on it. I *think* this means it's version 1.0.1. I need to know if there is any kind of patch I should add to the Win 95 version (my OS) I'd also like to know if I should re-install in Dos, and if I do, is there a Dos patch for IRC2? All the patches I've been able to find on the web have been for version 1.0.0. Any and all help is appreciated. Bascially, I'm a IRC2 newbie (although Nascar1 and IRC1 veteran) looking for all kinds of help. =) Thanks, Chris Ramirez

On the Sierra web site, there is a patch for both the Win 95 and the Dos version. They have the update from 1.0.1 in dos and win95 to 1.0.2. A patch for the paintkit is also on the web site. As far as other web pages, they usually have a patch, but neglect to state which one it is. If you install in dos, remember to use the indycar -h command, or else it will be in non svga. I made a pif so I could just double click the pif Icon, and It would reboot into dos, and load ICR2 properly. As far as the gameplay, I had at various times installed both the Win 95 and the Dos version, and the dos version ran better on my computer (Pentium 90 Laptop). I guess you will have a far easier time with setups than I. I watched CART for 4-5 years now, but it's no help on understanding what to change. Oh, although you probably already know, their are utitlities that will convert the Indy 500 track pack for ICR1 to ICR2 (if you have it), and conversions both ways between Nascar 1 and ICR2.
