The following custom files out of this archive have to
replace
the original files:
- BGMap311, OVMap311, MMMap311, Roof311, Bridge311
  must go into the game's folder "Graphics/Maps".
- Map311, Map311.los
  must go into the game's folder "Data/Maps".
- custom user battles "FreeDeploy-311"
  must go into "Games/Battles".
- the folders "311" and "1311"
  must go into the folder "Data/Battles",
  replacing fully the original folders.

The location of the original target folders depends on your 
operating system:


A) How to install on PC:

1. place original game CD in your CD-ROM drive,
2. make a full install of CC2,
3. download the latest CC2 updater from the Internet (v2.0b),
4. update the file "CC2.exe" to v2.0b using this updater,
5. duplicate the folder where CC2 is installed,
6. give the duplicated folder a suitable new name like "CC2-HH",
7. all operation described now must be done inside this duplicated folder:
8. unzip all the custom-map files
9. and place all the custom-map files
   named "BGMap###", "OVMap###", "MMMap###", "Bridg###",
   "Roof###" (where ### stands for three digits) into the
   subfolder "Graphics\Maps", replacing the original files,
10. modding files of folder "Data" must replace the existing
   subfolder "Data" files. This folder contains the latest updates
   for Map###/Map###.los files, too,
11. the files of the mod's folder "Games\Battles
   must go into the subfolder of the same name,
12. in case the intrinsic battlemaker functionality is disabled
  by the mod, you can use Mafi's tool "CCBmaker.exe".
  I recommend to place it inside the mod's folder.


B) How to install on a PPC-Mac:

1. Take your original CD.
2. Place it into your CD-ROM-drive.
3. Install the program on your harddisk (small install).
4. To use Mods it is not necessary to change the installed files.
5. Replace the main program "A Bridge Too Far" with the updated version
   found on the web site of Microsoft (version 2.0b).
6. Increase the memory for "A Bridge Too Far" from 19408 KB up 
   to 48000 KB or more, becaus ethis mod uses very large CC2-maps.
7. Create an uncompressed disk image file from the original CD using 
   "Disk Copy" or something else. Be sure not to make it read only. 
   The volume's name must remain "Close Combat".
8. Place the Mod-Files at the correct places on this image as described
   in the author's ReadMe-files.
9. Strip all "LF"-chars from the "TXT"-files of the Mod, if they are 
   coming from PCs.
10. Remove the original CD from your CD-ROM-drive.
11. Leave the disk image mounted (activated).
12. Start the main program "A Bridge Too Far" from the harddisk.
13. If the program asks for movie-files (xxxxxxx.mpg not found), 
    press the "abort"-button and click the mouse or double-click it. 
    Even if the program asks for the CD in the SCSI-drive press 
    the "abort"-button. Do not make a search, it will fail!
14. The program will now start, showing the new maps (or battles,
    campaigns), when you scroll down through the menu. Not replaced
    old maps will be also shown.
15. Select in the "Preferences"-option "Videos off", and you will be
    no longer asked for the CD or movies, but now the intro-picture
    will be displayed starting the game next time.
16. If you run into error message "out of command space", quit the
    program, quit all other applications except of the Finder and
    then start the program ABTF again.
17. After finishing the game, you can delete the disk image
    or leave it for the next day, 
DO NOT MAKE ILLEGAL COPIES OF THE SOFTWARE.
