This program opens (and modifies) most of the files in terrdata\objects directory.
Please back up the files before starting. There are several warnings:

1. This program can seriously trash your database.
2. I don't know what all the fields mean - anyone who knows or can guess what
   some of them do - please let me know!
3. I don't know if everything works - this is beta software.
4. The help file is seriously out of data - my verison of word seems to trash the RTF
   file!
5. Be careful out there!

To run - run the program. Open the VCL file - all others should open by
default. They need to be read-write files or it will fail with those it
can modify.

Pratically all the explorer style views can be viewed in the normal ways - the
detail view gives the most information though. Clicking on the column headers will
sort most views by that column. Therefore you can quickly sort the vehicle file
by the damage2 variable - which can help trying to work out what that does!

Double clicking on explorer views will bring up an editor for that item - if
I've gotten around to writing one yet.

If anyone would like to collaberate on updating the help file for this, let me know.
I'm not too good at writing explanations - especially for programs I've written (hey - I know
what that buttons does - I spent 3 hours coding up the thing!). I'm willing to explain things
and help with context sensitive stuff - but just can't face writing all the text at the momment!

============

F4Browse 1.4
============

Palette colours now right - added the +/- buttons to view all images. Not really the right
place for a viewer - but WTH.  

F4Browse 1.3
============

View vehicles, weapon and hardpoint data and contents. Also pulls out a mostly irrelevant
bitmap from the tex files.

It seems like the database is a little inconsistent. The MTOW and empty weights 
match pretty well with reality  - but there are some exceptions (AN-2). Also various
of them have this data missing.

Changes from 1.2
================

Changes from earlier versions.
==============================

Now been rewritten 4 times - using different frameworks.

Some more data is displayed in the various pop-up windows

Help file provided.

Will now attempt to read 1.00 and other earlier file formats.

Will try and guess the location of the database files, but if it can't it
should be pointed towards <falcon4>\terrdata\objects directory

No modifications will be done to the data files - they are opened read-only,
so it should be pretty safe.

TODO
====

Work out where the image index really comes from.

Work out what more of the numbers mean!


Acknowledgements
================

Lots of people have helped make this editor what it is today, (but I can't really blame them all!)

In particular
Jeffery "Rhino" Babineau - must be credited with getting me to change it from a viewer to and editor
MadMetal - for lots of support and ideas.
Tomas Eliose - for the radar findings
Martin Smith - who started me down this road, and who's code I use a small part of.
