                                 RottED V1.1
                           LEVEL EDITOR FOR APOGEE'S
			       RISE OF THE TRIAD

This version of RottED has many improvements over version 1.0.  I received
many helpful suggestions for new features after releasing v1.0, and this
version contains many of the most-requested items. The following listing
gives you a quick summary of some new features.

	* 	Pick up the Wall, Sprite, or Info plane value from a map 
		cell and then copy the value into other map cells using 
		single or multiple-cell edit modes.
	* 	Quick link cells using map location coordinates. Speeds the 
		placement and programming for switch-controlled objects such 
		as doors, firechutes, etc.
	* 	Floor Fill edit mode for fast floor fills inside walled areas.
	*	Default loading of the upper left corner (0,0 through 5,0) 
		map cells.
	* 	Added a "Did you save your work?" feature to the Exit 
		routines.
	* 	Automatic Height Adjustment for the rapid placement of 
		objects having fixed and variable incremental/decremental 
		heights (stairs, raised GADS platforms, etc.).
	* 	The map scaling routines no longer reorient the map to Cell 
		0,0 when you change display resolutions.  Now you can zoom 
		in and out of a map area without having to reposition 
		the map.
	* 	Added another display resolution for a total of six scaled 
		displays that can be used for editing and viewing maps.
	* 	Expanded online help.
	*	Eliminated the double screen refreshes associated with the 
		scroll bar controls.
	* 	Tile Brightness control for adjusting the brightness 
		(intensity) of displayed or printed image tiles.
	* 	Print feature for printing maps.  Multi-page capability for 
		large maps.  Prints user-defined ranges of map cells.
	* 	Expanded Undo features.  All edits can now be undone, 
		including multiple-cell additions and deletions as well as 
		floor fills.  
	* 	More keyboard Hot Keys for fast editing.



                                INSTALLATION
				
If you have a previous version of RottED installed, please delete it
completely before installing this version.

Install RottED just as you would most custom Windows applications.  Copy
ALL the RottED distribution files to the desired subdirectory and select 
the "File/New" menu option and then select "Program Item" to create a new 
Windows item.  Enter the Description (RottED), Command Line path/name 
(c:\rott\rotted.exe if you put RottED into the ROTT area),  Working 
Directory (c:\rott for the ROTT area), and finally, select the icon for 
RottED.  The RottED.EXE file has a built-in icon so select the Change 
Icon command and select the icon.  To run RottED, just double-click its 
Icon.

Please make note of the folowing things when first using RottED:

	*	Start RottED and read the online help FIRST.  You'll be
		up and running much quicker that way.
	*	If RottED doesn't seem to display correctly or you observe
		any other "problems", read the online help Technical
		Help section.	
	


                                FINAL COMMENTS 

I would like to say a big THANK YOU to all the individuals that helped
test the BETA version of RottED v1.1.  Thanks also goes to all of you who
provided the many helpful comments and suggestions for things you wanted
to see in the next version.  I hope you find this version of RottED even 
easier to use than the last.  The new improvements were intended to
make your editing even faster, and I hope you find this to be the case.
