!  WarCraft Saved-Game Patch version 1.01 for OS/2 version 3.0            !
!_________________________________________________________________________!

   This application will allow you to modify previously saved games
   in order to add more LUMBER and GOLD.  It is a fairly straight-
   forward design:  just run this application from the OS/2 desktop,
   select the saved game you wish to modify, and change the values
   for the amount of gold and lumber you possess.

!  Getting WarCraft floppy version 1.12 to run in OS/2 version 3.0        !
!_________________________________________________________________________!

   WarCraft is a DOS game which will run amazingly well in OS/2 after
   making one simple modification.  All you have to do is change the
   DOS4GW.EXE file to a more recent version.  If you have the floppy
   version of WarCraft release 1.12, this means that you are using
   DOS4GW.EXE version 1.95.  You can obtain a copy of DOS4GW.EXE
   version 1.97 for free on most public FTP sites.

   If you wish to obtain a recent version of DOS4GW that works well
   with OS/2 and WarCraft, take a look at the files and general
   information situated on Bishop's University OS/2 WWW Site,
   http://cyniska.ubishops.ca/os2/os2.html.

   This software does not contain any "user-protection" scheme in any
   sense of the word.  This application (like others great pieces of
   software such as Eric A. Wolf's FileBar)

      -> will not expire after X number of days
      -> will not expire after X tries
      -> will not nag you to register
      -> will not force you to reboot
      -> will not write coded messages in your INI file

   BUT!!!  I have had this application blessed by the Local
   Computer Gods, and they have assured me that people who
   register will enjoy the benefits of a clearer conscience.
   Thus, if you happen to like this application, and you've
   used it a few times, just send a small contribution to:

   All of my source code is made available for free.  I don't upload
   the source code to FTP sites unless people ask for it though.  So
   if you want a copy of my C++ files, just contact me at one of the

   If any of my software does not run on your system, PLEASE CONTACT ME!
   This means even if you haven't paid for this!  All of this software
   was coded on a 16meg ram 486dx33 with OS/2 Warp GA and IBM's C++ kit.
   I don't have another machine to test any of this out, so let me know
   if it doesn't run correctly on your machine.

   Also - if you can think of any enhancements, or have ideas and
   recommendations you wish to make, please let me know!  I'm always
   looking for additional programming ideas.

!_________________________________________________________________________!

   There is a series of DLLs that are necessary for software written
   using IBM's C++ Set.  This is similar to the EMX.DLL that seems to
   be necessary for most OS/2 applications compiled with the GNU
   compiler.

   In the case of this application, I use calls from three seperate
   DLLs.  These files are necessary to run WarCraft Patch, so I've
   included them with the archive.  If these files are already in a
   directory specified in you LIBPATH statement, then you can ignore
   these DLLs, or even delete them.

   IF YOU ARE UNSURE, or you know you don't have the DLLs on your
   system, then don't erase them!  WarCraft Patch will not run
   without these DLLs!  Also note that due to the nature of DLLs,
   you need to RUN THE GAME IN THE SAME DIRECTORY AS THE DLLS.

   If you happen to know how to change lines in your CONFIG.SYS,
   then you can add the DLL directory to your LIBPATH statement.

   If you minimize the application to your desktop, the minimized
      icon does not get refreshed correctly.  This causes absolutely
      no harm.  If there is a programmer familiar with the User
      Interface Class who knows how to fix this...please get in touch
      with me!

   You can specify more than 65535 for both the new values of gold
      and lumber if you specifically type the value instead of
      using the spin button.
