	Improved Color Pictures for Steel Panthers I and III
	     -------------------------------------

 These pictures are intended to use in Steel Panthers I or III games.
 In SP-III they cover WWII picture range.
 If you change the names from "p0xxx.lbm" to "pm00xxx.lbm", they can be used in SPWW2.


 You should unzip or copy pictures into Steel Panthers: "PIC" sub-folder.


WARNING: These pictures shall OVERWRITE existing ones!

 That's why if you want to keep the existing pictures, you should make a backup copy of existing "PIC" folder, or to unzip pictures into diferent folder, and than copy them into "PIC" folder, using a viewer (eg. "ACDSee"), so that you can compare pictures and decide which to choose. 

 If you don't have "PIC" sub-folder in your "Steel Panthers" folder, you should create one.


----------------------------------------------

 Some pictures have an alternative version, marked with an additional letters (eg: p0071b.lbm) - you can choose it (if you like it more), removing the letters behind the number.

----------------------------------------------

 I'd be grateful for any comments and feedback:		pibwl@poczta.onet.pl

 And I'd be grateful for any jpegs of equipment, that I don't have here -
 (or maybe you have better pictures) - you will get credits for this.. :-)
 - help in making SP more coloured.

 This time I have most of SP-1 pictures' range in color - but I still need help for the remaining items.

--------------------------------------------------------

Descriptions:

	 Many pictures were improved since previous release - so I don't even mark any as "improved". You should simply install them all - they are better, than before :-)

 In 1.4 we attempted, that most of US vehicles are Olive Drab, British: Deep Bronze Green [correct: Olive Drab, in 1.5], Soviet: khaki-brown, etc - like they should be. This was the big challenge - since all source pictures were in different shades, and the palette of Steel Panthers is poor - but examine our effort yourself. 

	* - alternative (not all have descriptions)

	[PIBWL] means, that this picture is made entirely be me.
