The US version of the Boiling Point DVD is now available. This is the
genuine US release. The on-disk Readme is oriented for the US or
Canadian purchaser.
However, I have no idea whether the game itself is just a repackaged
version of the UK release. Sor, if somebody with the UK version ( or
another English-language version ) could explore their DVD, compare
with the information below, and report back here, I would be
grateful...
Some file size and date specifics from the US DVD release

Now I need to install and try the game....
Also, the sudden withdrawal by Atari on May 27 of the US-version
patch released earlier that week is still mysterious.... I have a copy
of that patch, but I think that I will take some system-backup
precautions before experimenting.....
