Requirements:
------------

1:) A PC running Windows 95 or 98. (NT untested)

2:) An 800x600 display is recommended as other wise the screen becomes a bit full.

Installation and Use:
---------------------

1:) Extract all the files to your Half-Life directory.
2:) Run 'Jmanager.exe'.
3:) There is none!

      "The Jumbot" needs to be installed in '<Hl-Dir>\Jumbot' for the program to work
      correctly. The program simply finds out which directory it was started in and
      assumes that is your Jumbot directory. This eliminates requirements for extra
      annoying setup screens. Also, if either bots.cfg or jumbot.cfg do not exist, they
      will be created. The only time they will not be created is if the Jumbot directory
      doesn't exist. (See 'Error codes' below)

Error codes:
------------

Err1:
      This occors when a non-valid navigation type has been entered in the options screen. Only
      the types in the drop-down list are valid types.
Err2:
      Occors when 'jumbot.cfg' connot be written to. This is usually because the
      <Hl-Dir>\Jumbot directory is missing. Although it may be because the disk or existing
      file is write protected.
Err3:
      The file 'bots.cfg' cannot be found in your Jumbot directory. Either make sure this
      program is installed in your Half-Life directory correctly or make sure the 'Jumbot' dir
      and 'bots.cfg' file exists.
Err4:
      The file 'jumbot.cfg' cannot be found in your Jumbot directory. Either make sure this
      program is installed in your Half-Life directory correctly or make sure the 'Jumbot' dir
      and 'jumbot.cfg' file exists.
Err5:
      Occors when 'bots.cfg' connot be written to. This is usually because the <Hl-Dir>\Jumbot
      directory is missing. Although it may be because the disk or existing file is write
      protected.
Err6:
      Your Half-Life executable (hl.exe) is missing. This is usually due to incorrect
      installation. If you are positive that this program IS installed correctly then your
      Half-Life installation may have become corrupt.
Err7:
      Jumbot Manager was unable to write a tempory file to 'c:\'. The disk may be write
      protected or a file under the same name may be write protected. This error must be fixed
      so Jumbot Bot Manager will function properly. (The listbox stays empty.)

Unsupported features and bugs:
------------------------------

      Chat file editing, shirt/pants colours and weapon priority aren't in version 0.4 but
      will be added before the finished version, 1.0 is released. Teamplay reloads now and
      will function properly. Starting a game requires the Half-Life CD. If you find any
      other bugs, E-Mail me at 'cakeman@lycosmail.com'. I'll answer all E-Mails with
      equal priority.

Version differences:
--------------------

0.4:)
      * Errors give more user friendly infomation.
      * Teamplay option now works properly.
      * Options screen revamped to make way for co-op options. (Not yet implemented)
      * Co-op settings (coop_killmeth & coop_scikill) are now retained from jumbot.cfg.
      * in options screen, the bots aiming ability position number is now displayed
        after the text so setting it can be more accurate.
      * Clicking the X window button in the launch and options screen now sends you back to the
        main screen.
      * Code a bit cleaner and numerous bugs cleaned up.
      * Splash screen ditched in favour of an about dialog when the Jumbot image is clicked.
0.3:)
      * First official release. Buggy.
0.2:)
      * Test version. Rather feature-less.
0.1:)
      * Never really existed. Just a preview build.

Uninstallation:
---------------

      You wouldn't? Pah, ok then.

1:) Delete 'Jmanager.exe','Jmanager.txt','cp3240mt.dll' and 'borlndmm.dll' from your Half-Life
    directory.
