INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Extract this ZIP to your XWA folder. Be SURE to extract using the included directory structure. (This means WinZip's "Use Folder Names" option is on.)

If you choose to do it manually, here are the files and their locations:
     SHIPLIST.TXT - main XWA folder (REPLACES original)
     SPECDESC.TXT - main XWA folder (REPLACES original)
      STRINGS.TXT - main XWA folder (REPLACES original)
            *.OPT - FLIGHTMODELS folder
  SPACECRAFT0.LST - FLIGHTMODELS folder (REPLACES original)



2) The file with the .XWA extension *must* be patched into your copy of XWA for the craft to function correctly. Place this file into a temporary folder of your choice, and do the following:

    i) Download TIE Patch for Windows (TPWin) from the EH Science Office. (Note that 
only TPWin, not TIE Patch for DOS, should be used for patching XWA.) Extract the program into a folder on your hard drive, where it is recommended you leave it installed for future installations. This document will assume C:\TPWin. (Make sure you extract the entire program and not just the EXE! You'll get errors on execution if some of the files aren't there.)

    ii) Go to the TPWin folder, and run TPWin.EXE. (Click CONTINUE in the credits dialog box that pops up.)

    iii) You will next be presented with a "Select Patch File" dialog box. First, set 
the "List files of type:" field to "All Files (*.*)", then go to the folder to 
which you extracted the patch (.XWA) file, select it, and click OK.
 
    iv) You will next be presented with a "Help me find FLIGHT.OVL/Z_TIE__.EXE" 
dialog box. You won't be using either of those filenames, but it will still work 
so long as you make sure that you set the "List files of type:" field to "All 
Files (*.*)", as you did in the previous step. Once you've done that, go to your 
XWA folder (on most systems this is C:\Program Files\LucasArts\XWingAlliance\), select 
XWINGALLIANCE.EXE, and click OK. (Note that TPWin is a 16-bit program, and does not 
support long file names. Thus, a folder such as "C:\Program Files" will appear 
as C:\PROGRA~1, or similar.)
 
    v) Next, you find yourself at the TPWin main screen, with your source file and 
destination path both reflected therein. Out of the two options presented to 
you, do NOT select "SideWinder Patched" (this is only for TIE Disk/CD), but do 
select "Make Backup". Click the "Patch!" button.
 
    vi) In the resulting "Save Backup as..." dialog box, select a folder and assign a 
filename to what will be a backup copy of your current XWINGALLIANCE.EXE file. Note that 
you may only use DOS 8.3 format for filenames in this program.
 
    vii) Next, you will get either one or two dialog boxes, the last of which should 
report a successful patching. Click OK, and exit from TPWin.
