The current official version of Age of Rifles: v1.4
(Released late April, 1997)

Two notes:

1) The update may include a new game.cfg file. This is where your game
options and rules settings are stored. When a new update game.cfg is 
applied it will overwrite any options that were in effect before the update. 
Be sure to check all of your game and rules settings after installing
the update.

2) If you have any problems after updating the game to v1.4, they may
be due to a mistake in application of the update. Beginning with the v1.4 
update, the updates for AoR have been released as "patch" files. To install
the update, simply run the update executable (rifles14.exe) and give it
the path to your installation directory when prompted. This will 
update all files in the appropriate directories. How can you tell if this 
is the problem? There should be no *.PCX, *.LBM, *.SHP, or *.FNT files in 
your Rifles directory. All *.SHP files, for example, should be in your 
rifles\graphics subdirectory. Delete any misplaced files to free up disk 
space, then reapply the update per the instructions on SSI's update page.

If you feel you have found a program bug, feel free to contact me
directly. I will examine the problem. If there is a bug it will
be fixed as quickly as possible, and I will send an "unofficial" update
your way as an attached file. Any such bug fixes will be included in
the next official update.

Unofficial build information:

The current official build is v1.4.01. This the file included with
the standard rifles14.exe update file. 

There is an unofficial build available:

AoR v1.402 notes:

	This is an unofficial version of Age of Rifles. It is not supported
by SSI, so if you have any problems with it contact the author (yours truly)
at nkoger@onr.com

	1) Problems have been reported with the pbem file naming feature in
v1.401. This build _should_ take care of the problems.

	2) Here's a strange one. Units could only "frantic fire" if the 
primary weapon had a frantic fire capability. Now, they should be able to
fire if either weapon has a frantic fire capability.

	Again, this is an unofficial build. It should take care of a couple
of minor annoyances, but test of this build has been _very_ limited. Let me
know if you see anything odd in pbem or reaction fire with this version.
