Greetings to the forum!
last day i downloaded Hocus Pocus from:
http://www.3drealms.com/hocus/index.html

after i installed the shareware to C:\hocus
tried to install the registration patch (its unpacks 3 files and runs the "patch.exe")
the installer just quits and not patch the game

if i open another window of dosbox and run the patch.exe from there it says:
"applying modify file patch for '__hpgrvs.exe'

error ept0036: old file not ound. however a file of the same name was found. no update done since file contents do not match.'
(this exe was provided with the shareware version, and does not help if i run it)

plese if someone knows the problem that what i did wrong or the program is not working right tell me. thx

It's a patch to turn registered version 1.0 into registered version 1.1, not shareware version 1.0 into registered version 1.1 (even though it is poorly worded, I agree).
