                        IMPORTANT!!!!
1.  To use this program, you must do two important things
    first:

    A. Make a backup copy of FLIGHT.OVL.  This is a file
       contained in the main \XWING subdirectory. You must
       name this backup copy FLIGHT.ORI.  The DOS command for
       this would be "COPY FLIGHT.OVL FLIGHT.ORI"

    B. Make a backup copy of VGA.PAC.  This is a file
       contained in the main \XWING subdirectory. You must
       name this backup copy VGA.ORI.  The DOS command for
       this would be "COPY VGA.PAC VGA.ORI"

       Next, simply copy the file "XM.EXE" into the \XWING
       subdirectory.  When you wish to use it, exit the game
       and type "XM".  That's all there is to it.

2.  This is a shareware program designed to ease some of the
    frustration of playing LucasArts' game "X-Wing" and to
    provide many more optional spacecraft and environments.
    As you may be aware, the game allows you to revive
    pilots, but at the cost of all Tour Of Duty points.
    Also, the game is frustrating in that one cannot advance
    to the next mission without 100% success in the current
    mission.


3.  This utility will allow you to do the following things:

    a. PILOT MANAGER - View a listing of all pilots, then
    revive any dead or missing pilots without loss of points.
    It will then give you the option of changing the current
    Tour of Duty and mission of that Tour.  You can therefore
    "skip ahead" and play missions previously denied to you.
    Or, you can go back and replay a mission.  Your high
    scores will not be lost by skipping back and forth.
    The option to change missions is also available to
    "healthy" pilots.
    You may also award any medal, rank or skill level to a
    pilot.

    b. SHIP MANAGER - As you may be aware, the game only
    allows you to fly one of three different ships.  No
    more!!!  This utility will allow you to custom design
    your own fighters.   There are literally thousands of
    variations waiting to be flown.  You can also customize
    enemy ships to fly against.
    This section will allow you change the following
    characteristics of your ships:
    KTU, speed, RU (armor) factor, front shield strength,
    rear shield strength, rate of pitch, rate of roll (which
    includes rate of "spin"), acceleration, type of missile
    (proton or concussion), number of missiles, 2nd missile
    rack, laser color (red or green), type of lasers (Y-
    wing).  Custom designed ships can be saved as a package
    under the MODULE MANAGER option.

    c. VISIBLE SPECTRUM MANAGER - Allows you to change the
       colors of all weapons, and also gives you options to
       change the "environment" so as to be able to fight
       inside a gas nebula, etc.

    d. MODULE MANAGER - Allows you the ability to save up to
       five "Modules."  Basically, if you change a series of
       ships, or design a ship you want to be able to fly
       again without "recustomizing,"  you can save all the
       changes made with the ship manager in a Module.  You
       then will have the option of loading this saved group
       of modified ships on demand.


4.  This is a shareware program.  It was written in Turbo C++
    and took considerable effort.  I am using a concept
    called "reasonable shareware."  I would gladly accept a
    registration fee of $5.00 if you use this product and
    find it to be worth the five dollars.  Let your
    conscience be your guide!  Send registration and/or
