Thanks for the advice, I did open it in Open Office but sometimes,
well, things do get mangled (whatever Microsoft format it is, mind
you). It's pretty basic text though, hooray :D I'm tempted to put it on
the wiki :)<br>
<br>
I liked reading the manifest. Covers all the areas I can think of
except I guess technical documentation and tutorials for how to build
levels for the game are kind of missing (so both technical
documentation on the game, and how to build things for the game). Not
needed for getting to know the game though.<br>
<br>
A very good example, certainly since it contains everything that would
be needed to literally install and play the game, with some good
important background pieces too.<br>

still refuse to save anything in that format. This format shift has
caused nothing but troubles. I don't even see how it is supposedly
'better' than the old version. I have enough trouble trying to teach
students how to use the new Office without having to describe to them
how to 'save as' a document (yes, this is rocket science to them).
