This is a patch file for "battalion" release 2004c.  It's not compati-
ble with older releases.

These changes modify the way that city names are displayed. The stand-
ard version of  "battalion" pauses the game when you enter  a city and
displays the  name in the  center  of the screen for a long time.  The
modified version operates as follows:

      a. In "omniscient" mode, the current city name is displayed con-
         tinuously at the top of the screen.  Note:  This is only done
         during active play. The city name isn't shown while demos are
         running.

      b. In other modes,  the game  still  uses  the  old conventions;
         i.e.,  it pauses when you enter a city and displays  the city
         name in the center of the screen.  However,  the delay factor
         used in this case has been reduced significantly.

Requirement:  This file  assumes that the "battalion" sources were un-
packed as follows:

      unzip -aq battalion2004c.zip 

If "unzip -aq" isn't used, "patch" operations that apply this file may
fail.

Explanation: Some of the "battalion" source files are stored in MS-DOS
format. This file assumes that  the files  have been converted to UNIX
format. "unzip -aq"  converts  text files  to the correct format auto-
matically (normally, binary files aren't affected).
