			**** Heir To The Empire ****

				Tour of Duty                    

Warning: THIS TOUR WORKS ONLY WITH THE X-WING DISK VERSION WITH B-WING
ADD-ON DISK!  IT WILL NOT FUNCTION WITH X-WING CD FOR PC OR MACINTOSH.
			   
This Tour of Duty is based on the novel "Heir To The Empire" by Timothy
Zahn. The tour was created using XMB, a marvelous piece of work by Neal
Westfall. It replaces Tour of Duty 1, so before you continue, make sure
you've made a backup of the c:\xwing\mission directory. This tour makes
use of the B-Wing starfighter.
      
I've edited the speeds for the capital ships (i.e. Corvettes, Cruisers,
and Star Destroyers), as well as the amount of damage they can take. If
these settings are not used, and you use the "factory" settings, it can
cause serious problems with the missions, and some may not be able to be
completed unless they're at these "new" settings. Many thanks to Mark
Empson, Gold Leader, for all his help and hard work on getting the patch
to run properly.

			   * Installation *
			   ****************
	
1. Unzip MISSIONS.ZIP to the c:\xwing\mission directory.    
2. Unzip PATCH.ZIP to your c:\xwing directory.
3. To run the patch, switch to your c:\xwing directory and type "update".
      
     
	 ----------- KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THE PATCH ------------    
	     
	     Included in PATCH.ZIP are files called: 
			   
			   UPDATE.BAT
			   WSP.COM     (shareware patch utility)
			   BFLIGHT.WUP (file with my changes)

THESE FILES UPDATE BFLIGHT.OVL TO NEW SETTINGS. IT MUST BE RUN AGAINST 
THE *ORIGINAL* BFLIGHT.OVL (File date: 10/06/93 6:06PM) IN ORDER TO UPDATE THE 
FILE CORRECTLY. IF YOU USE EDITED SHIPS, RESTORE YOUR *ORIGINAL* BFLIGHT.OVL 
BEFORE RUNNING THE PATCH.

If your original BFLIGHT.OVL does not have the date, 
	 >  10/06/93 6:06 PM  <

the patch *should* still run, but you *may* experience problems. The 
patch has been proven to work 100% on the .OVL with the above date. In the 
batch file, I included an argument for the patch to ignore the date of 
BFLIGHT.OVL, and this is what sometimes causes problems for .OVLs with a 
later date. If you get any error messages, or if the patch does not make any 
changes, you should reinstall X-Wing and B-Wing to get the original .OVL and
try again.

		
		******** MORE IMPORTANT INFO!!! *********

If you have not completed all the LucasArts released Tours of Duty,
you should restore the original settings of BFLIGHT.OVL after you've finished        
my tour. The patch renames your original file BFLIGHT.ORG. Just delete 
BFLIGHT.OVL and rename BFLIGHT.ORG to BFLIGHT.OVL.


This tour represents about two months work. I tried to make it
challenging for all levels of pilots. It was designed on a 486DX/33 with 
8 megs of RAM and local bus video. A few of the missions may slow down a bit, 
and I apologize to those of you with slower machines. I tried my best to make 
the Empire a little more realistic (ie: Bigger fighter groups and more capital 
ships). If you experience any problems, or would like to send compliments, 
questions, or E-mail torpedoes, my address is as follows:

				Bill "Jedi" Morrison
				xvtjedi@pacbell.net
				Rogue Two

Good Luck, and MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!
