WarBOT 1.6b Windows Installation

Subject: Warlords II WarBOT DOS Installation

* If you already have WarBOT 1.0 or 1.5:

Download Update16.zip.  This contains an executable that will extract 
the needed files to update warbot 1.0 or warbot1.5 to warbot1.6.

(Many thanks to Karl Frank for the simplified updater!)


* To Install WarBOT 1.6b for Windows:

Step 1:  Create a directory for WarBOT 1.6.
Step 2:  Download warbot16.zip  
Step 3:  Unzip warbot16.zip and run the warbot16.exe file that appears.
         Warbot16.exe will first install warbot1.0, 
         then copy the FoxPro library file Foxw2600.esl 
         and finally update WarBOT to version 1.6.
Step 4:  Run WARBOT.EXE and Enjoy!
Step 5:  Download the WarDocs for additional information.

(Many thanks to Karl Frank for the simplified installer!)


* To use additional army sets:

Step 1:  Download the desired army set stats file from the web site.
         If a suitable file doesn't exist, then in your WarBOT folder, 
         create a tab-delimited text file in the format of the 
         erythea.txt or tournam.txt files (on the web site), 
         with the appropriate unit stats for the army set you will use.
Step 2:  Double-check for typos!  (Otherwise your odds will be screwy!)
Step 3:  Run WarBOT, click the "maintain" button, and select "import".
Step 4:  Choose your new army set file, and import it!
Step 5:  You may need to run "maintain" again to "select" the new army set.
Step 6:  You may also need to make the new army set the default,
         exit WarBOT, and then restart WarBOT for it to use the correct
         stats.  (These bugs will be fixed soon, we hope...)
Step 7:  WarBOT away!
Step 8:  If you made a new army set file, please zip it and email it to 
          so it can be added to future 
         WarBOT distributions!

Happy Warlording!
