X_REMAP Power Subsystem

Copyright 1994 by Matt Hart  CompuServe : 75450,3705

X_REMAP is a small TSR (8K) which will enhance your X-Wing play.

X_REMAP2 is a smaller TSR (6K) with the same functions as X_REMAP, except that
X_REMAP2 cannot be removed from memory, assumes an extended keyboard is
present, and has no instructions.

X_REMAP adds three functions - Shield Equalization, Full Engine Power and
Throttle, and Full Laser/Shield Power.

    KEY             FUNCTION
    ---             --------
     `              Shield Equalization - The back quote/tilde key is beneath
                                          the ESC key and left of the 1/! key.
                                          Pressing this is the same as pressing
                                          "sss".

    F11             Full Engine Power & Throttle - The F11 key will transfer all
                                          power from lasers and shields to your
                                          engines and set the throttle to full.
                                          This is the same as manually pressing
                                          the backspace key for full throttle
                                          and then F9 and F10 until all power
                                          is transferred to your engines.

    F12             Full Laser & Shield Power - The F12 key will transfer power
                                          to laser and shields until they are
                                          recharging at full.  This is the same
                                          as manually pressing F9 and F10 until
                                          all your lasers and shields are
                                          recharging at full.

    Shift-F11       Reset Internal Power Tracker - X_REMAP keeps internal track
                                          of the current power configuration.
                                          When you start X_REMAP, it is ready
                                          for the first mission with Laser and
                                          Shield power at normal.  If you
                                          finish a mission either by
                                          hyperspacing out, getting killed, or
                                          getting captured, X_REMAP must be
                                          reset to recognize the mission
                                          default configuration of normal laser
                                          and shields rather than its previous
                                          setting.


These functions are especially useful when in the full screen view mode.  Full
Engine is great when you've just had a missle shot at you.  Shield Equalization
is very useful when dogfighting large numbers of craft or when attacking
capital ships such as Star Destroyers, Frigates, and Corvettes.

It is very simple to add additional functions - X-Wing is a very well behaved
program.  Let me know if you want more.  I'll likely be incorporating many
specialty functions in the X-Wing cockpit I'm working on, so I'd appreciate
any feedback you can give me.  For example, how about a single key full power
transfer from lasers to shields?  Post to my e-mail or address or, preferably,
post a note on the FSFORUM in section 9 - Space Combat.


Enjoy.
