INSTALLATION INFORMATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unzip the MOOEDT.ZIP file to the directory where you installed
Master of Orion.

To run the Editor Enter MOOE and press Enter.

PROGRAM INFORMATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1- When you first run the Editor you should run the screen color 
     modifications utility.
     From the Main screen hit Alt-A and the letter C.
     Here you can change the colors to your liking.

  2- You are now ready to modify any and all the Colonies in Master of Orion.
     (You can only modify colonies which you or your opponents control.)

  3- I left the value limitations open to large numbers, therefore experiment
     and let me know if you find any interesting combinations.

  4- When you change any of the planet attributes some of the combinations
     might not work. Example follows.

     If you select a planet to be of type Terran , atmosphere Gaia, and
     special Orion, this will give you a Terran planet with the Gaia Atmos,
     because there is no such thing as a Gaia atmos with Orion attrib.
     Sorry if the above sounds confusing, but after you experiment with it
     a few times you will understand it.

  5- Please Register Master of Orion Editor. When you register this software
     it will encourage me to develop a newer version.
     Registration is $10.
     When you register you will get a registration number via US Mail or
     Compuserve mail. You will also get the next version of Master of Orion
     Editor when and if available.

     Any comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
