-------------------------
Version 1.02 - 9 May 2001
-------------------------
* Enabled editor (for full instructions, as well as two necessary
utilities, please check out out the tropico editor file, which
should be available on-line as tedit102.exe)
* Added programmable hot keys for quick jumps to map locations,
people, and almanac pages, as follows...
The number keys on the keyboard (0 through 9) can be programmed.
If viewing an almanac page, hold down <CTRL> 3 to set the number 3
as a hot key for that page.
Then, to return to that almanac page, press 3 (without <CTRL> or
<SHIFT>) at any time.
To set a hotkey to a unit or building, select that unit or
building, then program the key by holding down <SHIFT> and pressing
the number (i.e. 3). To set a map location hot key, do the same
thing without any unit or building selected. In all of these cases,
press the same number (without <CTRL> or <SHIFT>) at any time to
jump back to them.
* Airports should now be built about 35% faster (including ground
clearing, etc.) Other large buildings should now be built about
10% faster...
* If the world bank forces low wages on you, the prior wages will
now be remembered and restored, if and when the wage restrictions
are lifted, PROVIDED that you haven't changed the building's wages
yourself in the meantime.
* Fishing wharfs can no longer be placed in such a way as to trap
the resulting fishing boats.
* Cleaned up a few obscure crash bugs
Troubleshooting notes (supplemental to those in the original readme
file):
If you have a Voodoo 3 based card - please make sure you have the
latest/final version of the 3DFX drivers - early driver versions
can cause various artifacts in hardware mode. 3DFX drivers can be
found at www.3dfx.com
If you have stability problems - all of the following can be possible
solutions:
1) Try not to run any other programs in the background - close all
other programs before starting Tropico. Avoid task-switching
(ALT-TAB) out of Tropico.
2) Make sure you have up to date video and sound card drivers
3) Certain sound cards (Soundblaster Live) have hardware
acceleration. It has been reported that this sometimes causes
instability or can increase sound related problems. If your sound
stutters or you experience instability, try disabling hardware
acceleration on your sound card (if you have it).
Remember, there are a wide variety of graphics options available in
the settings menu (press <F2> in the game world), including the
ability to change resolutions, enable hardware acceleration, change
the amount of graphic detail etc. If performance is slow on your
machine, consider running at a lower resolution, turning down the
level of graphics detail, and/or otherwise adjusting these settings.

Version 1.01 - 1 May 2001
-------------------------
MAJOR CHANGES
* Replaced original copy protection system with simpler system that
should resolve all issues relating to copy protection errors
at game startup (Unable to find CD-ROM messages, blue-screen Windows
errors, long startup times).
* Fixed two bugs that could in rare instances corrupt saved games -
saved games from 1.00 version that were unstable should be stable now.
MINOR CHANGES
* Added 'O' hotkey to jump to your election opponent (only if election
is underway, of course...)
* Added one more character to the credits animation (drunken teamster)
* Fixed bug where roads could be laid in oceans
* Disabled 'F' hotkey (an artifact of the editor)
