Thank you for supporting the free enterprise system.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To use this program type "MECH" from a dos prompt.
This program is designed to create BattleMechs for use with the BattleTech
gaming system available at your local hobby store. We are in no way
affiliated with the makers of BattleTech.
The ".DAT" files used with this program are simple ascii text files and can
be modified by any text editor. This will allow you to add or remove
weapons, engines, and ammo. Note that the number of options in the file is
the first number appearing in the data file. If you edit these files
after you have saved a BattleMech you'll have to add new data to the end
of the file and you may not delete any entries or else the saved 'Mechs
will become useless.
Also available are Champions's & Fantasy Hero Character generators. Send
any questions or requests to the address above or:

Version 1.01 Update notes:
o Addition of the Bar Chart for displaying armor.
o Addition of the use of the tab keys to "jump" between modifiable options
on the main screen.
o Addition of the optional "o" tick marks for armor and hits on the
'Mech-Sheet.
o New additions and revisions to the 'Mech-Sheet for more playability.
Such as the ranges for weapons and the inclusion of hit location #'s.
o Addition of a filename look-up in the load 'Mech section.
o Max # of Jumps allowed was originally set to running speed but is now
set properly to walking speed.
o Jumps may now only be placed in the torso or legs as per the rules.
o There is no such thing as rear internal structure and thus they were
removed.
o Heat and damage totals for firing all weapons was added.
o Mixup in some of the armor charts was fixed.
o Rear armor chart/ticks have been moved to the end of the lists to aviod
confusion.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Known "bug" not fixed:
o Buy walking speed so high as to go beyond 400 engine rating malfunctions.
o Placing 2 multi-crit weapons next to each other will allow you to remove
one from the middle and thus permanently attaching the other item.
