FIX.BAT and the 3 related TXT files require the use of DEBUG. You either have
to have DEBUG copied into the same directory with the 4 FIX files and the 
SWOTL pilot files or you have to have a PATH= instruction in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
file that will allow FIX to access the DEBUG utility from any subdirectory.
Copy the 4 FIX files into the main \SWOTL subdirectory on your game disk or
hard drive. To use just type: FIX pilotname.ext todtype. 
The todtype is the type of TOD your pilot was involved in when he was lost 
DUAL, ESCORT, etc. The todtype has to be in all capital letters or the FIX 
program won't run. The word fix and the pilot name need not be all caps. If 
the pilot is lost in any mission that is not a TOD you simply use NO as the 
todtype. For all German TODs you just type GERMAN as the todtype.
If you forget what the syntax is for using FIX, you can simply type 
FIX <ENTER>. This will display several "syntax error" messages and the
FIX text plus the included examples in the program and abort the program 
without editing anything.
Two fighters in the US inventory are special cases and need to be handled 
with one extra parameter in the command syntax. The codes that symbolize
ESCORT and DUAL TODs for the P-51D and the P-80 are reversed and need to be
singled out for the FIX program to patch the pilot file correctly. If you 
lose a pilot flying in a P-51D or P-80 TOD of either type you must include
"P51D" in the command syntax. Using "P51D" will correctly patch the file for
both a P-51D pilot and a P-80 pilot. The use of "P80" is not supported.

Sample syntax: FIX SMITH.USA ESCORT P51D
               FIX SMITH.USA DUAL P51D

For all other US fighters the extra parameter is not needed, this includes
the P-51B.
