  This file contains instructions on how to setup and install the new
buildings for Dark Reign.

CONTENTS:
---------

  This zip file contains the Solar Power Plant. It is a new building that
will be placed in the Freedom Guard's Unit build list.

        This zip should contain the following files:

   -    SOLAR.MAP
   -    SOLAR.SCN
   -    TACTICS.MM
   -    SOLAR.CFG
   -    PACKMAN.CFG
   -    SOLAR.FTG
   -    README.TXT
   -    SOLAR.BAT
   -    MLSTRING.CFG
   -    BUILD.TXT
   -    OVLEFF.TXT

INSTALLING:
-----------

  To install this new building, simply open an MS-DOS prompt, change to the
directory in which you unzipped the SOLAR.ZIP file, and run the SOLAR.BAT file
as follows:

        SOLAR.BAT <directory>

where <directory> is the full path name in which Dark Reign was installed.

  For example, if you installed Dark Reign into the default installation
directory, C:\PROGRAM FILES\ACTIVISION\DARK REIGN, you would type:

        SOLAR.BAT C:\"PROGRAM FILES\ACTIVISION\DARK REIGN"

Note that it is very important that you put the quotes in!

  This will copy the required files into the correct directories. It will also
set up a new scenario called SOLAR that is accessible from the main menu by
selecting SINGLE PLAYER, then PLAY CUSTOM MISSION, then selecting SOLAR from
the available mission list. This will load the custom scenario SOLAR, which
includes the new Solar Power Plant building. You will find this building at the last
position in the Building tab within the game.

USING THE NEW BUILDING IN OTHER SCENARIOS:
--------------------------------------

  To use this Building in a different scenario, all you need to do is to create the
scenario, then copy the files *.TXT, PACKMAN.CFG and MLSTRING.CFG from the
SOLAR scenario folder into the new scenario folder. The new building will then
appear as part of the avaiable buildings.
