** Requires the flight simulator Hellcats (incl. Leyte Gulf) **
***************************************************************
Those folks from Graphic Simulations can sure program a flight simulator,
can't they? But they can't spell worth a darn; dialog boxes in Hellcats
and Leyte (and the manuals for that matter) are absolutely full of
stupid spelling errors (like "acheived", in one dialog box that successful
pilots get to see a lot).
This annoys me. If it doesn't annoy you, read no further and trash this.
If it annoys you too, use ResEdit to paste these corrected STR# resources
into their respective applications (Hellcats and LeyteGulf). All I did
was use ResEdit on the original STR# resources and edit their text to
correct spellings, capitalize Hellcat, etc. You could use this same
technique to customize Hellcats messages (e.g. "You really bit the
big one there, ace.").
Graphic Simulations or anyone else is welcome to take these STR# resources
and create a more user-friendly patching application.
[Usual warning: ResEdit can be a dangerous toy, make backup copies first]
Surely this doesn't violate Graphic Simulation's copyright since the
STR# resources alone are of no use to anyone who doesn't own Hellcats/Leyte.
'Nuf said.
