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 and 1996 sample datafiles supplied for those who don't want to
     mess about.

     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, Norwaegian and Czech.

NEW FEATURES

     Calculator window - allows calculation of teams' HP and driver
     performance ratings by entering lap times.

     It is now possible to have wet races at Phoenix (USA).

     The tyre compound used by computer cars can now be altered.

     The sound sample window has been enhanced to provide extra features.

     The graphics window can now load IFF ILBM images (KS 2.0+).

     New menu item to allow saving to a datafile, F1GP binary and memory
     all in one go.

     Saving/loading to/from the F1GP binary is now handled in a different
     way.  Instead of selecting the "f1gp" from a file requester every
     time, you just need to set it once in the main window.

     Altered the way lap records and dates are entered and displayed - a
     lot nicer now.  However, these custom gadgets will only work properly
     with KS 2.0+ - this was unavoidable due to missing/unimplemented
     features in the KS 1.x version of gadtools.library :(

     Spanish and norwegian now supported and the documentation is also
     supplied in german.

     And of course some bug fixes.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

     Formula One Grand Prix or World Circuit game by Geoff Crammond,
     published commercially 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 will work on machines with less memory.
