TOURNGEN.EXE
      (C) 2002   Kenneth A. Strom

      Most of this documentation is the INI file.  Tourngen is a
   simple program to generate 11 matching cone or wedge shaped
   arms and a random inner core of planets.  Each of the arms will
   contain the same amount and types of minerals and natives, but they
   will not be on the exact same planet positions.  Basically, each
   arm is generated exactly the same as the other and then data for
   each arm is jumbled around.  As for the core planets they are
   generated randomly.


      Place the contents of the zip file this was in into your hosting
   directory.

      Edit the tourngen.ini file to your settings.  The default
      settings are for difficult games.

   1> master <gamedir>

      [Don't master game with ships.]

   2> hconfig <gamedir>
   3> host <gamedir>
   4> tourngen <gamedir>

      [NOTE ***  If tourngen causes a FLUKE OF FATE ERROR simply rerun
   tourngen.  This error is cause when any 2 planets have the same XY
   which can be cause under several generation settings.  When this
   error occurs the program ends w/o saving the data.]

   5> cd <gamedir>
   6> copy xyplan.dat xyplan.hst

      [Here's a good place to copy the xyplan.dat and give it to the
   players.]

   7> host <gamedir>

      After completion of step 7 your game is ready to start.


      Note : This program will take up space on your HD, other than
   that there are no guarantees.
