    program.
  * Very clear and easy to use Mech factory.
  * A function so sell and buy Mechs across different Units using a clipboard.

                      ** Changes since version 0.50beta **

     - Fixed some typos.
     - Small rework of the manual.
     - Hopefully fixed the 'repair-failed-all-money-lost' bug.
     - Created a extra menu for preferences. This simplifies future expan-
       sions.
     - Added preferences for screenmode and colors. Hopefully this will fix
       display problems (scrolling screen) on NTSC based machines.
     - Reworked the enhancement of weapons. It's now harder to enhance
       weapons. The prices climb faster if you enhance already good weapons.
     - Added a retry button to the repair/healing requester. So you don't
       have to click heal->hospital->character on every try.
     - The calculation of the Mech weight tends to be more accurate in the
       factory when adding/removing parts.
     - New Units start with 5 millions to 10 millions c-bills.
     - Fixed mech repair. Strange mech could cause huge (or even negative)
       values to pay.
     - Added an undo button to the skills/attributes requester. If you hit
       undo, all actions are canceled and the Character gets back his 
       Character Points.
     - Added a menu item to drop a Character without saving to disk, just
       in case you create a Character with TO BAD attributes to keep him.
     - Characters may now be killed, if a healing fails. There is a re-
       quester to abort healing, if the Character is in a very bad state.
