  JACKEDIT Usage Notes:
  =======================================
  1) Obtain copy of the JACKED10.ZIP archive. Primary distribution
     sources are the Castle Camelot and Camelot LordNews FDN web-sites.

  2) Unzip all files from JACKED10.ZIP into your IGM directory,
     using overwrite mode.  E.g.:  pkunzip -n jacked10.zip

  3) Change into the Gem Trader IGM directory.  Verify you have
     a current GEMDRINK.DAT file.  If you don't, then you can't
     use JACKEDIT.EXE.  Why? You have to HAVE a player database
     file before you can use the editor on it.

  4) The first time you run the utility, it will ask you for
     the path to the Gem Trader IGM directory.  Type it in, and
     press ENTER to exit the dialog box prompt.  JACKEDIT.CFG
     file will be created in that directory.

  5) Run JACKEDIT.EXE.  If a config file is not in the directory
     you run it from, it will ask you to create on - as noted
     above.  If config file is found, it then checks for existence
     of GEMDRINK.DAT file.  If one is not found, program will
     give error message and quit working.

     JACKEDIT has only one screen of data.  It shows database
     fields in the order they are listed in the player database
     record structure (usually).  Each value, with one exception,
     may be set to any value that is valid for it.

     The Lord Player Number field is display-only.  That is because
     I don't see any valid reason to allow users to fiddle around
     the LORD Player Number field.

  6) When you exit JACKEDIT, it will resave the GEMDRINK.DAT
     file so that any changes you made will be accessible to
     the IGM.         End of Notes for JACKEDIT usage.
