--Installation--
Zip contents:
aokts.exe - the program
aokts.ini - configuration settings
readme.txt - this file
scx_format.txt - file format of AOK scenarios
zlib1.dll - contains DEFLATE algorithm
libexpat.dll - contains XML-reading algorithms
source.zip - source code for geeks
data_aok.xml - genie data

Instructions:
1) Unzip aokts.exe, zlib1.dll, and libexpat.dll into a folder of your choice, no install program is necessary.
2) (Optional) Configure aokts.ini to your preference.


--How to Use--
This program loads and saves Age of Empires II scenarios. It offers/will offer more features than the standard AOK editor, including:
 * Placing Beta units just like any other unit
 * Placing units in 'formation' style
 * A trigger interface that allows negative tributes and damages
 * The ability to copy+paste triggers
 * Trigger templates to easily make common triggers

During loading/saving, a decompressed scenario called 'scendata.tmp' will be created in the program directory.

If you have suggestions, comments, or bugs report them at http://www.digitization.org/bugs/ (don't worry, there's an option to request a feature too). Thanks for trying it out!


--System Requirements--
HDD Space:	3MB (dependant on scenario size)
RAM usage:	Approximately 2-5MB.
Minimum OS:	Windows 98/NT4 with IE 5.0


--Changes--
Note: Bugfixes per version are now available online at <http://www.digitization.org/bugs/changelog_page.php>.

Improvements:
	Added scroll bars on the map viewer.
	Unit highlighting is more reliable.
	Map copy now uses the clipboard - it will work between different instances of AOKTS and allows overlapping areas.
	The appropriate combo boxes now allow no selection.

Known Issues:
	Map copy area selections do not appear on map viewer.


--Notes and legal--
Please DO NOT SAVE OVER your original scenarios with this program. I'd really hate for you to lose all your hard work with a bug!
The constant list previously included in this zip can be found under 'Complete Constant Lists' in the AOKH utilities.
If anyone wants to port this for MacOS, the scenario reading itself is cross platform. Contact me if you're interested.
