3. Full download

   This >>zipfile<< (2.55 MB) includes everything:
   the complete RapidLok6 Handbook with all files and above downloads.


For playing the game you will need the dates for the treasure fleet
and the silver train. I did not include them as you will find them
in the "Pirates! manual" (see Literature section).
Keep in mind that "True drive emulation" must be enabled in WinVice
when dealing with RapidLok protected G64 files.
