About this Utility:
	This utility has been created to make the joining of multiplayer Rainbow Six/Rogue Spear servers very simple. After being tired of writing down ip addresses or memorizing them because R6 doesn't support cut&paste, an alternative was needed. A solution to this problem is found in the Toolkit along with numerous other features. 

--------
Features
--------
To use the features found in the toolkit, first select the game(Rainbow Six, Eagle Watch, or Rogue Spear) that you are wanting to use and then continue. If certain options are disabled, that is becuase they are not valid for the gametype you selected. 

*Join a server: Fill in the ip address of a server up and running and the port number (Default is 2346). Click 'Join' and your multiplayer game will be started. When you join a server, a key is placed in your registry which tells Rogue Spear what server you were connecting to. If you ever get disconnected from the game, go to the 'Manual Join' option in Rogue Spear's multiplayer section and it will remember the ip adress of the server you were connecting to.

*Create a server: Fill in the port you would like your server to run on (Default 2346) and then click 'Create'.

*Ping: Type in an ip address and then click 'Ping'. This will tell you how long it takes to send a packet from your computer to the ip address and then back. The lower the ping, the faster your connection to that server. If you don't get a response, then the server isn't on the internet or you have been disconnected from the internet. 

*Telnet: This is a trick used to see if there is actually a RS server running at the ip address. Put in an IP address and then click "Telnet". If you get a bunch of gibberish text on the screen, then a server is running. If you get an error message saying "You cannont establish a connection", then the server is down.

*IP Address: The IP address is displayed on the main screen so you can quickly find out what your ip address is. You can also copy and paste it to a friend to easily allow him to know your ip address. See bug information below in "Known Bugs"

*Address Book: Here you can store up to 5 ip addresses for either Rainbow Six or Rogue Spear. Select the appropriate game and then hit the "address book" button.

*Player Config: Here you can find the options to change your player name. The weapons selection has been disabled till the next release

*Server Config: Here you can set misc. options related to being a RS server. Connection and Max Players options are disabled till next release. You must enable the password option to type in a new password. 

*General Options: Here you can set general RS options that make it easier then going to the options menu in RS. Remember, if some options are disabled, that is because they aren't valid for the game type that you selected.
