 What does this do?
 ==================

 This update updates versions 0.1, 0.2 and 0.25 to 0.3. Makes almost all the
 missions little bit easier in general.


 What's new in version 0.3?
 ==========================

 Version 0.3 contains the latest mission #13: Chronosphere Test. In my
 opinion, the best mission I have created and the best Red Alert mission I
 have ever seen. I succeeded better than I thought.  

 I have made almost all the missions easier. So, the campaign is now a bit
 easier in general. Especially mission #6, #7 and #8 are now easier.
 
 Looks like there are none bugs noticed, or you are just too lazy to advise
 me. So, in this version have not been fixed any bugs.

 Again, in mission 6 there were few mistakes that have been fixed now. 

 Title screen (windows version) has been converted now better! Now mouse
 cursor is white as usual and menu is blue and clear. I would give
 my sincerest thanks to Nuke72 for converting the palette of the picture.


 Files in the Distribution
 =========================

    You should have received 3 files in this distribution:

      flinev03.bat
      flinev03.dat
      flinev03.txt


    Any other files are not part of the distribution and should be
 viewed with appropriate suspicion.


 Installation
 ============

    You should place these files into your Red Alert directory. Then You
 need to run the flinev03.bat program. This is a DOS program, but it runs
 under Windows 95 without any special modifications.

 If you have not installed version 0.1 do it (fireline.bat) before installing
 this 0.3 version. Version 0.2 or 0.25 do not need to be installed.

 This program installs some files (scg04ea.ini, scg05e*.ini, scg08e*.ini,
 scg09e*.ini, scg10*.ini) to your Red Alert Directory and replaces some old
 files from version 0.1 (rules.ini, tutorial.ini, version.txt, title.pcx).

    This program does not overwrite any of the original Red Alert files,
 so there is no need to worry on that score. The reason it gets rid of the
 other files is because the campaign want complete control over your
 copy of Red Alert for as long as it is installed. 

    Note that if you want to reinstall the campaign you have to uninstall
 version 0.1 first, then install version 0.1 and after it install
 version 0.3!


 Uninstallation
 ==============

    Obviously there is no reason to uninstall version 0.3, so there is not
 uninstallation program for version 0.3.

    If you want to uninstall the campaign for some incomprehensible reason
 you have to run the fireline.bat program and choose uninstall. 

    The program will immediately delete any installed files and move all
 moved files back to your Red Alert directory. After uninstallation the game
 should be in the same state as it was before you installed the campaign.


 Support and bug-fixing
 ======================

 Please please e-mail me if you find ANY (even a little) bug or mistake.
 It is greatly appreciated!

 Also, I would love to hear any suggestion or comments of the campaign.
 I just need feedback!! All negative and positive feedback is more than very
 welcome. E-mail me if you have something to say..

 All known bugs and mistakes will be fixed at version 0.4 of the campaign.


 Update Policy
 =============

 In The Line of Fire campaign is not ready. This is a beta version 0.3.

 This DOES not mean that the missions of the campaign are not well tested
 and they have bugs! All 13 missions are bugfree as far as I know.

 In The Line of Fire is beta because it will have 18 missions so I have
 not make rest five missions yet. My update policy is that I will update the
 campaign every time when I get next mission ready and tested. Please visit
