1. DESCRIPTION

Warcraft II players should know this after running the program. It's an editor
for battlecraft (a god-game, like warcraft and populous). The game itself is
not released yet (more info later) but the editor will give a good impression
how it will/could look like.

I've already drawn a landscape and added some puds to try out. Thats right! you
can convert/view warcraft II levels (128*128 only) Also most map options (like
starting conditions and map description) are now supported.



2. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

None.. except for the AMIGA of course :)



3. MAILWARE

This program is mailware. If you like this and would like me to do some extra
