* About StrEd

StrEd is a brief utility for changing the names of the WarCraft II units.
It was written by me, Daniel Lemberg. You can contact me by e-mail at
"lemberg@bayserve.net". You can download the most recent version of StrEd
at "http://www.bayserve.net/~lemberg".

* Using StrEd

Put stred.exe in your WarCraft II directory.

To dump all the unit names from WarCraft II, redirect the output of stred
to a file, like so: "stred > filename".

Edit the file. Make sure that you don't insert or delete lines, not even
the blank lines.

When you are finished, run "stred filename" to put your new names into
WarCraft II.

* Error messages

Error opening filename: This is message is displayed when StrEd can't find
data\strdat.war (i.e. you didn't put StrEd in your WarCraft II directory),
or you pass a non-existant file to StrEd as an argument.

Names too long: You can't use more than 1145 characters for all your names.
Shorten one or two of your names and try again.

Not enough names: You don't have a line for each unit type. You need exactly
104 lines in your file.

* Notes

You should keep a copy of the original unit names, so that you can restore
them. Otherwise, you will have to reinstall WarCraft II to return your unit
names to normal.

StrEd doesn't change the "Build peon" etc text, just the unit names displayed
when you click on a unit. It is most useful for changing hero names.
