    
Welcome to the Free Standard Game Server V0.7 beta 36
-----------------------------------------------------
(c)1998,1999 by NetGames <http://www.net-games.com/>
IMPORTANT: read the license file!

NOTE: You CANNOT REVERT to an older version if you installed beta 36!
      People wanting to connect to a local/LAN FSGS using Tiberian Sun must use
	FSGS Connect 3.2 or later!

Check the common websites for updates or have a look at
http://www.fsgs.com/. 

FSGS requires Winsock 2 to be installed on your System. If you get a Message
"WS2_32.dll" is missing, grab the Winsock update at www.microsoft.com

Known Problems:
	- There seems to be a problem with local ladders. We are currently looking into it.

Proxy users:
If you are behind any kind of Proxy yourself, be sure to DISABLE
the proxy support in the configuration and restart your FSGS.

Multiple IP's:
If you have more than one Internet IP and want FSGS to use a specific one,
create a registry key "HKLM\Software\FSGS\InternetAddress" and put as StringValue
the IP you want FSGS to use. You need to restart FSGS to make the changes active.

How to start the Server (fsgs.exe version):
    - Be sure to have the directories Data\ and Players\
      existing in the Directory where the binary resides.
    - Simply double-click the Server-Executable.
    - If you want to play Starcraft on the same machine you MUST start Starcraft
	after FSGS is running!

Service Version:

  The service-version (fsgssvc.exe) takes several parameters. 
  It's vital that the service runs in a context that has WRITE and READ-Access to
  the registry of FSGS (HKLM\Software\FSGS) as well as the FSGS-Directories and
  can use sockets. (We advice to have it run in a usercontext (user must have the 
  "Login as Service" permission set))

  To Install the service:
	fsgssvc -i {-l [username] -p [password]} 
      -l/-p can be ommitted if you want to run it as "LocalSystem".

      To run the service: start it via Services in the Windows Controlpanel
	or "fsgssvc -s"
      To stop the service stop it via the services-controlpanel 
	or "fsgssvc -e"

      To Remove the service: fsgssvc -u


How to connect to the Server:

    Edit the Registry Key:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Battle.net\Configuration]
    "Server List"="<ServerIp>"
    "Server Version"=0x01  (DWORD key)
    Where you see the <Serverip> enter your IP address of your computer. 
    and simply start Starcraft as normal.
    Or use one of the common tools. (like BattleNet-Launch-Pad or FSGS Connect)

What to do if it crashes:

Collect the files LOG and RPT from the directory and send them to
us together with a short description. (If possible include a drwatsonlog too)
(Please zip the files if they exceed 5k)
