1. Installation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Extract the zip-file you downloaded (Warcraft Version Switcher) into any folder
you like.
3. Enjoy!
NOTE: If you want to switch versions and stuff you will have to read the online
manual or figure it out by yourself, it's not very hard. Just click the second
button from the left and read.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. How does the program work?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wvs stores all the versions in zip-files ex. wc3-version 1.00.zip, wc3-version
1.02.zip etc. All zip-files are saved in "x:\your wvs directory\wvs". Wvs only
stores files that are being changed by blizzard patches.
-------------------------------------
The Files that are being stored are:
-------------------------------------
Game.dll
Storm.dll
War3.exe
War3Patch.mpq
-------------------------------------
Also all the multiplayer maps:

3. Error messages - what do they mean and what sould I do??
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you start Wvs, it does an automatic filecheck, to check id wvs is located in
the right folder. If it isn't a big white box will appear under the program with
alot of text that is blinking. By reading this you should understand what to do
when a error comes up.

ERROR: File not found, wvs\help.dat
--------------------------------------
When you get one of theese errors there are files used by Wvs missing.
Possible reasons:

into your Warcraft III folder.

Info about Zip-dlls
--------------------------------------
I have used a Zip-componet named Zip-master, which is freeware. It's a great
componet and it deserves some credit.
