DESCRIPTION

     An editor for use with the Formula One Grand Prix or World Circuit
     game (published by MicroProse Software).  It is very easy to use,
     with a standard 2.0 look graphical user interface (even on KS 1.x!)
     and on-line help should you need it.

     Allows you to alter most of the in-game setup, including computer
     car performance, car/helmet/pitcrew colours, car fragility and many
     other things (and I MEAN many!).  Sound samples can also be replaced,
     cockpit graphics changed, and lap records and setups printed.

     Changes can be saved directly to a copy of the game which is running
     in memory, or to the main file used by the game for a more permanent
     change.

     Also incorporated in the main program are a number of memory patches,
     including Toni Wilen's GPPatch and Grant Reeve's PatchF1GP.

     F1GP-Ed breathes new life into an ageing, but excellent game.  1994,
     1995 and 1996 sample datafiles supplied for those who don't want to
     mess about.

     The program itself is auto-enhancing, which means that it will run
     on a basic A500 with KS 1.2, but will make use of KS 2.x or KS 3.x
     specific routines on suitable machines to make itself even better.

     Supported languages:

     English, German, French, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Danish, Swedish,
     Finnish, Norwegian and Czech.

NEW FEATURES

   o The "super-steering help" which is activated when using an analog
     joystick can now be disabled
   o When saving a new datafile, if ENV:Sys/def_F1GP-Ed.info exists it will
     be used as the datafile's icon.  Otherwise the built-in icon will be
     used (as before)
   o New default datafile icon
   o Preliminary 1997 season datafile + Nigel Rowe's updated McLaren
     cockpit design

     And of course some bug fixes - notably, the GPPatch HUD now works if
     a High-Res mouse pointer has been selected in Workbench preferences.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

     Formula One Grand Prix or World Circuit game by Geoff Crammond,
     published commercially by MicroProse Software.

     Approximately 1.5Mb of free ram needed to load the game and the
     editor to be able to use the memory patches.  But, the editor
     itself will work on machines with less memory.
