IMPORTANT NOTE:

	To save space this instalation does not provide the MFC DLL.
If you are using any program that uses MFC (eg: ICQ) you should have
it on your machine. If you don't have it, you can download it from
my web page and place it in you "windows/system" directory.


NOTES ABOUT THIS RELEASE:

	This editor was writen for the mud Arcanum, therefor some
parts of the data files that it uses may not be fully compatible
with ROM default.

	This version includes support for ROM default. I don't use
ROM default area files in my sistem so it may not work correctly.
If you find any bug please send me an email.

	The editor is still in a beta stage and may have many bugs.
To fix a bug I need to recreate the error in my machine. If I
can't do this I can't correct the bug. If you find an error please
send me the data file you were editing (if posible) and the
steps I have to take to generate the bug. Thanks!

	Currently the program lacks documentation. Specialy about the
configuration file. If people start using the editor I will write full
documentation and maybe include a help file. If you have any questions
about the program or the format of the configuration file please send
me an email.

	This is the first public version I'm releasing so there may be
a period of time in which I realease many new versions of it. You can
always find the latest version of this program, both versions (english
and spanish), in my web site.

Small explanation of the configuration file:

	The configuration file is a text file that resides in the
same subdirectory as the binary executable file. Its name is 
"arcaed.cfg". Probably you will have to modify it a bit to suite your
mud.

	The file has many tables with the values the soft expects to
find in the area data files. Its important that these tables have the
correct values for your mud. A quick look at the file may give you an
idea of the values have to put in each table (if you have handled the
code of your mud). The configuration file that comes with this package
is build for Rom2.4 without OLC and mobprog.

	What you will probably have to modify to start are the first
lines of the file. The ones in the "#GENERAL" section.
	
	The line "MudType" may have tree values:

		Arcanum: special settings for mud Arcanum.
		RomDefault: settings for rom default without OLC.
		RomOLC: settings for rom default with OLC.

	The line "MobProg" may have a 1, if your muy supports MOBPROG
or 0 if it does not.

	Thats all for now...
