(If you read German, you'll know that LiesMich means:  ReadMe).
   Gnter Kirrbach did this file setup, plus a translation of program
text (and file names).  It covers mostly roads in West Germany.
   There are a LOT of cities and roads in the respective files.
There will be a distinct pause after the files are loaded, while 
the program links everything together.  Once that job is done,
the road calculations will go pretty fast.
   Many cities will have names you might not recognize from their English
counterparts.  For example, the city we call Munich will be shown
as Mnchen, which is what it's called in Germany.
   About those "funny" characters:  even without a German keyboard, you
can create them easily once you know the trick.  Those two dots above
vowels ("umlaut", as in Mnchen) are produced this way:  before typing
the 'u', or whatever, press ALT-K.  Then type the u and get .
similarly, the  character (sounds like "s") is made by pressing
ALT-s.  Thus:  Straburg, the city you (and the French) might know
as Strasbourg.  Ya gotta get used to it:  Moskau,Ruland is Moscow.
And if you wanted to look at the city file, stdte, you must know
how to type that .  Good journey, and be careful on those autobahns.
