DESCRIPTION

     An editor for use with the Formula One Grand Prix or World Circuit
     game (published by MicroProse Software).  It is very easy to use,
     with a standard 2.0 look graphical user interface (even on KS 1.x!)
     and on-line help should you need it.

     Allows you to alter most of the in-game setup, including computer
     car performance, car/helmet/pitcrew colours, car fragility and many
     other things (and I MEAN many!).  Sound samples can also be replaced,
     cockpit graphics changed, and lap records and setups printed.

     Changes can be saved directly to a copy of the game which is running
     in memory, or to the main file used by the game for a more permanent
     change.

     Also incorporated in the main program are a number of memory patches,
     including Toni Wilen's GPPatch and Grant Reeve's PatchF1GP.

     F1GP-Ed breathes new life into an ageing, but excellent game.  1994,
     1995 and 1996 sample datafiles supplied for those who don't want to
     mess about.

     The program itself is auto-enhancing, which means that it will run
     on a basic A500 with KS 1.2, but will make use of KS 2.x or KS 3.x
     specific routines on suitable machines to make itself even better.

NEW FEATURES

     It is now possible to start a race with less than 26 cars.

     You ask F1GP-Ed to automatically reduce the speed factor in wet
     weather conditions (as computer cars are comparatively faster in
     the wet).

     Fix F1GP's audio interrupts so that navigating the menus doesn't
     interrupt any music modules being played in the background.

     Other minor changes and bug fixes.
     
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

     Formula One Grand Prix or World Circuit game by Geoff Crammond,
     published commercially by MicroProse Software.

     Approximately 1.5Mb of free ram needed to load the game and the
     editor to be able to use the memory patches.  But, the editor
     itself will work on machines with less memory.
