This patch fixes some of the problems that occurs on 8 meg machines, and 
on some machines that are running the game in 16 bit high color.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
GAME EDITOR

There is a game editor on the CD in the editor directory. You can run the 
editor by clicking on the editor.exe in either WIN 3.1 or WIN95.  The editor 
will allow you to change almost every aspect of the ACW game, from leaders'
stats to cities conquered, to the expertise level of your troops.  Just load up 
one of  your saved games and make the changes. WARNING if you change the 
date, when you load the saved game, it will go through the setup screen again, for
choosing sides and other options, it will as if you started up a brand new game, 
but your changes will be included. You will be able to customize the computer's
beginning troops, and other stats and information.

HEX GRID

On 8 meg machines the hex grid will load up very slowly and it will slow down the 
turns  a lot as well. It is best to unload the hex grid before executing a turn, to get
the best speed from the game.
