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, 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 sample datafiles supplied for those
     who don't want to mess about with all the options.

     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, Czech, Greek and Polish.

NEW FEATURES

   o New datafile reproducing the real-life 1999 F1 season
   o When viewing backdrops or cockpits, the image is now displayed in
     a window on the same screen, where possible (using
     picture.datatype)
   o Improved "best mode" calculations when opening screens, which will
     try to choose a mode with the same monitor type as the screen that
     F1GP-Ed is using (e.g. will stop F1GP-Ed choosing PAL screens when
     running on a graphics card!)
   o Added workaround for the palette window when running on a hi/true
     colour screen - when adjusting the colours, the on-screen colours
     now update in realtime (as they normally do on <= 8-bit screens)
   o Fixed a long standing bug which screwed the car setups up causing
     the game to crash during a championship season when reaching the
     Suzuka race and racing with less than 26 cars
   o Made a workaround for the sliders in the palette window, as the
     numbers didn't always show up with certain fonts
   o Under certain circumstances (e.g. running under CyberGraphX)
     F1GP-Ed could crash on exit, if not registered

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

     Formula One Grand Prix or World Circuit game by Geoff Crammond,
     published commercially originally 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 and most of the features will work on machines with less
     memory.
