                           THE WARLORDS ][ IMPORT FACILITY
                           -------------------------------

            1. SAVED GAMES & MAPS

                Warlords ][ has slots for 10 saved games and 10 saved random
            maps.  They are all saved in the WARLORD2\SAVE directory with
            the following names:

                Game Slot #1  ---> SAVE0.DAT
                Game Slot #2  ---> SAVE1.DAT
                Game Slot #3  ---> SAVE2.DAT
                Game Slot #4  ---> SAVE3.DAT
                Game Slot #5  ---> SAVE4.DAT
                Game Slot #6  ---> SAVE5.DAT
                Game Slot #7  ---> SAVE6.DAT
                Game Slot #8  ---> SAVE7.DAT
                Game Slot #9  ---> SAVE8.DAT
                Game Slot #10 ---> SAVE9.DAT

                Note that the number on the SAVE?.DAT file is one less than
            the number of the slot it is saved to.
                Saved maps are kept in similar files:

                Map Slot #1  ---> RMAP0.DAT
                Map Slot #2  ---> RMAP1.DAT
                Map Slot #3  ---> RMAP2.DAT
                Map Slot #4  ---> RMAP3.DAT
                Map Slot #5  ---> RMAP4.DAT
                Map Slot #6  ---> RMAP5.DAT
                Map Slot #7  ---> RMAP6.DAT
                Map Slot #8  ---> RMAP7.DAT
                Map Slot #9  ---> RMAP8.DAT
                Map Slot #10 ---> RMAP9.DAT

                Note that the number on the RMAP?.DAT file is one less than
            the number of the slot it is saved to - exactly like the saved
            game file.

                There is one more file in the WARLORD2\SAVE directory -
            RMAPTEMP.DAT.   This is simply used for saving the last random map
            that was generated - you don't need to worry about this file!

            2. DELETING SAVED MAPS/GAMES

                To have a saved map/game removed, simply delete that file from
            the WARLORD2\SAVE directory, using the DOS command "del".  MAKE SURE
            IT IS THE CORRECT FILE!  ONCE DELETED IT CANNOT BE RECOVERED!

                So to delete the saved games you have in slots 7,8,9, type the
            following from the WARLORD2 directory:
                    DEL SAVE\SAVE6.DAT
                    DEL SAVE\SAVE7.DAT
                    DEL SAVE\SAVE8.DAT
            And to delete saved maps 1,3,7, type this:
                    DEL SAVE\RMAP0.DAT
                    DEL SAVE\RMAP2.DAT
                    DEL SAVE\RMAP6.DAT

            3. THE IMPORT FACILITY

                Suppose you want to IMPORT someone else's saved game/map files
            into your copy of WARLORDS ][.  You will need the IMPORT facility.
            This command must be typed from the DOS command line while in the
            WARLORD2 directory.  Its general format is (for a game):

                    IMPORT GAME

            And for a map:

                    IMPORT MAP

            Where   is the name of the file containing the
                                  saved map/game.
                     is a short (up to 14 letters) description
                                  you will see in the saved map/game list.
                                  It cannot contain any spaces.
                     is the slot in the list that will show
                                  this saved map/game.

            WARNING!!!  Whatever slot you import the map/game into is
                        COMPLETELY OVERWRITTEN!  Take care you do not lose
                        a previously saved map/game that you wish to keep!

            4. AN EXAMPLE USING THE IMPORT FACILITY

                Suppose someone gives you a saved game on a floppy disk that
            you wish to look at or continue with.  You must perform the
            following steps.  (Assume the floppy disk goes into A: drive, though
            B: drive would be just as valid)
                He tells you that the game is in a file called SAVE0.DAT.
                What do you do next?  Ok... here we go:

                a) Place the floppy disk in your drive (assumed to be  A:).
                b) Change directory to your WARLORD2 directory
                    CD \WARLORD2
                c) Copy the file from the floppy disk
                    COPY A:\SAVE0.DAT
                d) Decide which "slot" you wish to import the game into.
                   Suppose you know that you have five games saved, but just to
                   be on the safe side, you decide to import into slot 10!
                e) Think of a name to appear in slot 10.  How about
                   something like "MyNewGame"
                f) Type the import command
                    IMPORT GAME SAVE0.DAT MyNewGame 10

                Now when you next start WARLORDS ][, the name "MyNewGame" will
            appear in slot 10, when you want to load a game!
