HOGMAN Version 1.01

Utility to manage DESCENT HOG-Files

With HOGMAN you can:

•	extract Parts out of an existing HOG-File

•	insert new Parts into an existing HOG-File

•	remove Parts from an existing HOG-File

•	create HOG-Files for new Levels

Notice:

HOGMAN is NOT from Parallax Software, the makers of Descent, and has nothing to do with them.
HOGMAN is based on the Descent file specification Version 0.10.
It is not allowed to change the original DESCENT.HOG file in any way.

Help is available for :

•	HOGMAN Mainwindow

•	Pulldownmenues

•	Copyright & Sharewareinformation

•	Vendorinformation

BTW: HOGMAN was done with Delphi from Borland, and It took more time to create the Helpfile than coding the HOGMAN.


HOGMAN Mainwindow

The main window of HOGMAN is devided into 2 areas.

•	The partlist on the left hand side.

•	The Filebox on the right side.
