INSTALLATION
------------
To  install  V2.02,  you only have to extract the SzenarionV2.lha-file to a
directory and use the HDinstall-icon.
If you want to install from a disk-drive, extract files to desired disk(s).
If  you can't extract them to one single disk (in case of a DD-disk-drive),
copy  the file szen_2.lha to a second disk and use the HDinstall-icon also.
The install-script is able to handle it.

ROLEGAME-COMPATIBILITY
----------------------
Originaly  this  package was developed for the MERS® system (engl.  MERP®),
but   an  experienced  role-game-master  should  be  able  to  convert  his
characters  from  any  other  system  as  D&D®, AD&D®, DSA® etc.  Refer the
Szenarion.dvi-file for special guidelines.

DOCUMENTATION
-------------
The 114 sided (german) rulebook is included as .dvi file. 

BUGS
----
-There were some problems to work with the editor-screen on the A1200. I
 made some changes, but I could'nt test them till now. Report Bugs to me!
-When  removing  a  player  character  during  simulation  by  master-menu,
 sometimes  the menu points to NULL.  Till now I could'nt reproduce the bug
 and localize the error.
