 │   The independant release of Fifa 98 earlier today was a very early beta  │
 │  of the game. If you compare the exe file dates/sizes you will note that  │
 │  PDM's release is from 11/04/97 while the IND's release is from 09/29/97. │
 │  Additionaly, PDM's exe is 1.51 MB in size while the IND's release is a   │
 │  mere 1.43 MB. This is true for MOST of the data files as well. PARADiGM  │
 │  comes through for you, the end-user, yet again by releasing the final,   │
 │  working version of the best soccer simulation of 1997! Thanks and enjoy. │
