Windows 95 Shattered Steel Mission Editor Readme
------------------------------------------------

Welcome to the Shattered Steel Mission Editor.  The only thing you
have to do to get started is run SSEDITOR.EXE.  When you run it the
first time, the editor will prompt you for the location of the Shattered
Steel files.  Once you do so, the main editor window will open, waiting
for your instructions.

You will find an On-Line manual contained within the HELP menu of the
editor.  If this is your first time using the editor, it would be a good
idea to browse the On-Line manual.  A Walk Through section is included that
has a step by step example of creating a mission.  Use this as your first
mission to get comfortable with the editor.  After you have finished
with the walk through, you should have a good understanding of all the basic
elements of the editor as well as some of the more complex features.

This product is being distributed as is, and is not being supported by
