NOTE: As of the 10/09/03 EQ patch you must use eqstr_us.txt for formatted strings (instead of eqstr_en.txt).

NOTE: As of the 10/09/03 EQ patch you must use spells_us.txt for spell information (instead of spells_en.txt).

NOTE: This release included many changes, so don't forget to do a 'make -f Makefile.dist', 'configure', 'make', and last but definitely not least 'make install'.

It should be appearing on the pserver and ViewCVS server in about 24 hours.

Because Sourceforge hasn't finished upgrading there CVS and because so many of you like them... I've created a tarball and patch for this release.

The ShowEQ 4.3.17 tarball contains all of the latest changes and may be found here in the ShowEQ Files section and on my site.

I will announce its availability through the SourceForge File Release system as soon as I can put it there (Write access to it is currently down for scheduled maintenance.

Users of my previous release (4.3.16) may choose to just apply the patch that can be found here at my site (because it's too large to attach to this message).

Enjoy,
Zaphod (dohpaZ)
