=== BATTLECRUISER 3000AD v2.09 - Windows version ===

This build contains the Windows version of BC3K v2.09.

This is program is unsupported and is not a patch to the DOS version. Use at
your own risk.

[INSTALLATION]

Make sure you have BC3K v2.09 installed. It will *not* work with *any* other
version. Period.

Unzip all files into the folder where BC3K v2.09 is installed.

Create shortcuts to the following files:

BC3KWIN.EXE        - Runs in a 640x480 window on the desktop

BC3KWIN-FULL.EXE   - Runs in 640x480 fullscreen

[KNOWN PROBLEMS]

* No sound in Frontend modules (Tactical, Logistix, Roster etc)

* Planetary time of day doesn't work right, due to some palette switching issues

* Does not use Direct3D or Glide. It only uses the software renderer

* Some spurious keyboard and joystick anomalies (especially in the windowed 
  version)

[NOTES]

* This version uses your WIN9x registered sound card and therefore does not 
  require the sound setup program used in the DOS version.
  
* Runs under WIN9x and WIN2K (your mileage may vary)

* This version is 100% compatible with all BC3K v2.0x data files. This means 
  that you can run the DOS and WIN9x versions using the same data files.
