Point Of Attack-2: Update Versions
List of Changes

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------- Version 2.01 ---------------------------------------------

Added/Adjusted:
- Reduced smoke generation from wrecks.
- Added close combat to reporting
- Broke out accuracy separately from kill probs on DF/targeting screens.
- Added "Bring location information window to top" Display Menu option
(or Crtl-H).
- Added minimize and close system buttons to Location Info Form.
- Streamlined AI routines for aircraft movement.
- Mouse scroll band/time values and LOS area display range saved as player
preference.
- Progress bar form smaller, and is movable (position saved as player
preference).
- Map view (zoom, position) returns to that used before the last game save
(for each player).
- Added "Standard Wargame FOW Setting": All friendly units are always known
correctly and completely. If an enemy unit is sighted by ANY friendly, the
entire friendly force knows it immediately at level 5 (no SITREP's).
Otherwise, no friendly unit knows it is there - and there are no historical
reports, e.g., "as of x seconds ago".
- Added ability to chage unit HQ assgnments and unit level in setup phase
using the Unit Info Form.


Things that didn't work right:
- Removed a bug that caused "access error" crashes.
- Fixed smoke/dust drift/dissipation routines.
- Focus unit highlighted on Unit Movement form.
- Fixed rotation for 0-360 units (it was being reduced to 0 degrees)
- Fixed close combat for "fractional" kills per pulse.
- Fixed bug on hits to non-armored AFV's.
- Fixed help file unavailability for unit targeting form.
- Fixed force being "reset" when bringing up help form when initially
selecting TO&E units.
- Fixed helicopter movement problem.
- Fixed "Novice" expert level options when selecting air and arty support.
- Fixed "Ok" and "Cancel" buttons on air and arty support forms.
- Fixed tutorial slide show not always being available.
- Updated hints/tool tips on Preferences form.
- The map display matches the force tree for compressed multi-part units.
- VP Locations now "stick" when existing scenarios are reset to the start
turn.
- Added "Reinf" notes to Unit Info form and Force Tree.
