+Optional stuff: Music, enhanced graphics, and PDF manuals.
+
+Music
+-----
+To hear the in-game music, you'll need a set of MIDI patches, either the
+eawpats or freepats package from slackbuilds.org (make sure you set up
+timidity.cfg correctly). These can be installed after the fact (no need
+to rebuild xu4 after installing them). The timidity package itself isn't
+required (xu4 uses SDL_mixer to play back the music).
+
+Enhanced Graphics
+-----------------
+By default, the script will build a package that uses the graphics from
+the original PC/DOS version of the game. If you'd like to use the
+upgraded graphics from the Ultima IV Upgrade Project, download the file
+u4upgrad.zip and place it in the same directory as the SlackBuild script,
+before running it. The upgrade can be downloaded here:
+
+URL: http://www.moongates.com/u4/upgrade/files/u4upgrad.zip
+md5sum: 4ce9c9cd9dab111275e0ebfde7a482c4
+Homepage: http://www.moongates.com/u4/upgrade/Upgrade.htm
+
+The graphics upgrade isn't listed in the .info file because it isn't
+required to play the game, and also because some users will prefer the
+original CGA-style graphics.
+
+PDF Manuals
+-----------
+Some of the documentation in this package is in Microsoft Word format. To
+read it, you can use KWord... or just live with the text-only versions
+(also included in this package). These are the manuals for the original
+game, and unlike most modern games, you really do need to read them to
+have any chance of completing Ultima IV. The text files and Word docs
+contain all the information needed to play the game.
+
+However, the text and MS Word manuals don't really capture the
+flavor of the original manuals: they're just the content, without the
+presentation. If you want a more authentic retro-gaming experience,
+you should install the PDF manuals. To do this, download the file
+ultima4_scanned_docs.zip and place it in the SlackBuild directory,
+before running the script.

+md5sum: c6be37b7028d6f7b56843a73517a5c31
+
+The PDF docs aren't listed in the .info file because they're fairly large,
+and not needed just to play the game.
