ROM PATCHES
-----------

When this utility is started a search is made in the executables directory and
subdirectories to find any patch files (*.arp) and tools (*.exe).
In the checklist all the patches that where found will be showed. All tools found
will show up in the tools menu.
Before any patches can be made a source ROM must be selected. Click at the
'not selected' text for a open dialogbox and select the ROM file. After selecting
the source ROM a target ROM is set automatic to which all changes are saved. The
source ROM is not changed in anyway.
After checking the wanted or unchecking the unwanted patches the apply button must
be clicked to apply the patches and create the target ROM.
Regardless if any patches are checked or not, when clicking the apply button the
ROM's checksums are always recalculated and renewed and a Target ROM is always created.

ROM UPDATE
----------

In the port editbox you can select which COM port to use for the ROM update.
When Avigo Manager is installed then the port is preset to the same port used
by Avigo Manager.
A ROM file must be selected at the 'Target ROM' prior for the update. Clicking
at the 'not selected' text will open a dialog box to select the ROM file.

After the above settings are correct and the update button is clicked a
messagebox will appear that tells how to put the Avigo in ROM update mode.
After the Avigo is put into ROM update mode and the Yes button is clicked
a progressbar will appear and the ROM update is started.
