1.0 General Notes

What is RS Armpatch Kit?  
RS Armpatch Kit was created to Install image files as 'armpatches' in Rogue Spear.
This Kit also includes a large collection of images located in 'data\armpatch collection' folder located in the directory you unzipped the RSArpatchkit.zip to, that can be used as armpatches in Rogue Spear.

2.0 Manual:
  
   2.1 Adding Armpatch File to Installation List
      -'installation list' is the large box in the middle of the program
      -Select a drive from the combo box
      -Browse for the folder containing armpatch image files (*.rsb)
       The default folder is 'armpatch collection', provided in this kit.
       If you wish to use your own images as armpatches see (Creating Armpatch Images:)
      -Select the file from the listbox by double clicking on it.
       This will add the file to the list of files to be used as armpatches in RS.
       You may select up to 20 images, as this is the limit set by Rogue Spear.

   2.2 Removing Armpatch File from Installation List
      -Double clicking on an item in the listbox will remove it from the list.
      -To Clear the entire list click the button labelled 'Clear'.

   2.3 Image Preview:  
      -Clicking on an image file will generate a preview of that armpatch image.        
      -note: If you use your own (*.rsb) images, 'RS Armpatch Kit' will not generate
             a preview unless you save an identical copy of the (.rsb) file as a (.gif)
             in the same directory as the (.rsb) file with the same name.  
  
   2.4 Installing Armpatches:
      -Add armpatch file(s) to installation list (See: 2.1 Adding Armpatch file to        installation list)
      -Click button labelled 'Install' 
       This removes any armpatches currently in the armpatch folder of the game directory.
       (to undo simply restore arpatch directory for windows 'Recycle Bin').
  
   2.5 Restoring Rogue Spear Default Armpatch Files
      -Clicking the button labelled 'Defaults' will restore the armpatches to the 
       original files installed by Rogue Spear.

   To restore to the game's original set of armpatches, simply copy the
