DESCRIPTION
--------------------------------------------------------
These  are  sets  of files that  alter  the  technology,
either in appearance, content or both, in Space  Empires
III.   Each set of new technology is located in its  own
folder,  and  if  you want to  return  to  the  original
technology, it is provided in the "Originals" folder.

HOW TO USE
--------------------------------------------------------
Some   folders   may  have  specific   information    on
installation   in   them,  but  in  general   copy   the
"Comps.bmp"  and  "Facility.bmp" files into  the  "Space
Empires III\Pictures\Game" folder. (The  "Pictures\Game"
subfolder of the folder you installed Space Empires  III
into.)   Also  copy  the "Tech.txt"  file  and  all  the
"*.dat"  files   into  the  "Space  Empires   III\Files"
folder.   (The  "Files"  subfolder  of  the  folder  you
installed Space Empires  III into.)  After this is  done
the new set of technology should be loaded.  Copy  other
files into their subfolders based on the chart below:

File Type:                                Subfolder:

Comps.bmp,Facility.bmp                    Pictures\Game
Ship Pictures(*.bmp)                      Pictures\Ships
Empires.txt,Systems.txt,Tech.txt,*.dat    Files

*.wav                                     Sounds

CREATE YOUR OWN
--------------------------------------------------------
Create  your own new tech sets using the  Space  Empires
III  editor,  in the "Space Empires III  Editor"  folder
on  this  CD.   Read  all  the  "*.txt"  files  in  that
folder to learn how to use the editor.
