Installing FSASMLIB.DLL
-----------------------

Sceneries created by FSASM will not work properly without FSASMLIB.DLL,
which contains the library of scenery objects.

To install, run the Install.exe program which comes with FSASMLIB.DLL.  The
Install program checks the Windows registry for the location of your Flight
Simulator directory.  Install then looks for a previously installed version
of FSASMLIB.DLL.  If the previously installed version of FSASMLIB.DLL is
newer, Install keeps it.  Otherwise, Install copies the new version into
your Flight Simulator MODULES subdirectory.

NOTE:  If you want to force Install to use a Flight Simulator directory
other than the one listed in the Windows registry, you can specify your
preferred directory on the Install command line.  For example,

  Install c:\mygames\fs6


Uninstalling FSASMLIB.DLL
-------------------------

To remove FSASMLIB.DLL from your system, simply go to your Flight Simulator
MODULES subdirectory and delete it.  Understand that removing FSASMLIB.DLL
will prevent any sceneries that use it from working properly.  Using these
sceneries without having FSASMLIB.DLL installed may cause Flight Simulator
to exit with an "invalid page fault" error message.


What's New?
-----------

As of version 6.0.1, the features originally found in FsasmLib.dll 6.0.0
are now in three separate modules.  The new modules are:

* FSASMLIB.DLL   FSASM Scenery Object Library
* FLTREC.DLL     Flight Data Recorder
* FS6IPC.DLL     Interprocess Communication for CoPilot, NAV, GPS, etc.

All three modules are available from the FSASM web page.


Technical Notes
---------------

* Disabling the Modules menu item

If want to remove the Modules menu item from the Flight Simulator menu, use
a text editor, such as NOTEPAD, to edit or create a file named MODULES.CFG
in your Flight Simulator directory.  Then insert the following lines at the
top of the file:

[Common]
AddMenuItem=0
