Verifying PGP Page 1 of 2 Saved: Saturday, June 29, 1996 1:37:15 PM MacPGP 2.6.3 and its accompanying documentation and other support files are being distributed in a nested self extracting Stuffit archive. Since you are reading this file, you have already expanded the outermost archive. Besides this ReadMe you will find two other files: MacPGP263_Folder.sea - this is the inner self extracting archive containing the actual program and support files Macpgp263_Folder.sea.asc - this is a detached PGP signature on the preceding file To verify that the archive you got has not been corrupted or tampered with, run a trusted copy of PGP (either a previous version of MacPGP or PGP for DOS/Unix). If you are verifying with a previous version of MacPGP use "Open/Decrypt" from the File Menu, then choose the file "Macpgp263_Folder.sea.asc" in the standard file dialog. Shortly thereafter MacPGP will ask you what file the signature applies to and you should then choose the file "MacPGP263_Folder.sea". If all goes well, PGP should display a message like this: pgp 'PGP:Macpgp263_Folder.sea.asc' File has signature. Public key is required to check signature. File 'PGP:Macpgp263_Folder.sea.$00' has signature, but with no text. Text is assumed to be in file 'PGP:Macpgp263_Folder.sea'. . Good signature from user "Zbigniew Fiedorowicz <fiedorow@math.ohio-state.edu>". Signature made 1996/06/27 16:39 GMT using 1022-bit key, key ID A20BD423 However this is only useful if you trust the key A20BD423. If you don't, then you should extract the key file keys.asc inside MacPGP263_Folder.sea. This file contains keys for people who were involved in development or distribution of recent versions of PGP. Add these keys to your pubring.pgp. Then choose "Check Signatures" from the Key menu. You will find two separate chains of trust linking the key A20BD423 to Philip Zimmermann's key C7A966DD pub 1022/A20BD423 1992/09/30 Zbigniew Fiedorowicz <fiedorow@math.ohio-state.edu> sig! 2416A859 1996/06/26 MacPGP Development pub 1024/2416A859 1993/08/03 MacPGP Development sig! C7A966DD 1993/08/09 Philip R. Zimmermann <prz@acm.org> and pub 1022/A20BD423 1992/09/30 Zbigniew Fiedorowicz <fiedorow@math.mps.ohio-state.edu> sig! 0500BF45 1995/01/11 Michael Paul Johnson <mpj@csn.org> mpj8 pub 1024/0500BF45 1994/06/27 Michael Paul Johnson <mpj@csn.org> mpj8 sig! C7A966DD 1994/07/07 Philip R. Zimmermann <prz@acm.org> Finally how do you verify that C7A966DD really belongs to Philip Zimmermann? Presumeably if you already have a trusted copy of PGP with which you are performing the verification, that key would have come together with it. Alternatively you might get hold of either of the following books on PGP: Protect Your Privacy - A Guide for PGP Users William Stallings Prentice-Hall, 1995 ISBN 0-13-185596-4 PGP: Pretty Good Priva…

Version History Page 1 of 1 Saved: Saturday, May 28, 1994 12:04:56 PM ------------------- Tesla 1.0d2 3/11/94 Obstacle testing is totally rewritten using a custom polygon hit testing system, and it works in all directions. Should work for jumping, too. Interface improvements. ------------------- Tesla 1.0d3 5/25/94 • PixelBlizzard now locks and unlocks GWorlds correctly which fixes all major bugs I know of and is compiled using CodeWarrior DR3 (last version was in DR2 or DR1). • Late breaking news- huge performance improvement. • We now check to see if a sprite is visible before including it in region calculations. --------------------- Tesla 1.0d4 5/26/94 • Implemented timing code which works for all Macs. Timing facilities improved immensely. • Scrolling performance is improved 99%. --------------------- Tesla 1.0d5 5/28/94 • Optimized my point-in-polygon routine (we no longer use QuickDraw, which isn't so quick), rewrote pxblz_Draw entirely, which both cause… … Breakthrough performance. PixelBlizzard is now the fastest sprite kit available for Macintosh. Amazing as it may seem.

Version History 1.3.0 (30/4/98) Some modules now have tabbed windows and more features. New modules: Mantra II, Might & Magic III party, Realmz 5. You can now press the option key when selecting menu commands via the keyboard (e.g. command-option-W to close all windows). You can assign command keys to scripts in the script menu (see the "Development (Scripting)" document for more information). Renamed the Save As... command to Save A Copy As. Updated and improved balloon help for menus. Added a new "Close All But This Window" script. You can use the optional parameter 'to' with the 'Save' script command. The maximum number of open windows is now 40 (previously 16). Lots of bug fixes. 1.2.1 (26/1/98) Fixed a bug with the Save As... command. 1.2.0 (12/1/98) ACE! supports scripting - look at the scripts menu for some examples. New modules: Omega (version 0.75 and 0.80), Escape Velocity, Harry the Handsome Executive and an Unlimited Adventures design password module. Function keys 1 to 4 now Cut, Copy, Paste and Clear respectively. The Clear button on the numeric keypad also clears text. Lots of minor bug fixes. 1.1.1 (27/10/97) Added a better version checking process which won't become apparent until later versions of ACE! Fixed a bug that prevented ACE! from running on non-MacOS 8 PPC systems (AppearanceLib not found error on launch) 1.1.0 (23/10/97) Uses the Appearance manager. On MacOS 8 systems, all dialogs and alerts will be "theme-savy". Changed the wording of the "Invalid Value" dialog and added a "Use Maximum/Minimum button". Fixed a bug with hi/lo nibbles (which only affected the 'M&M II' module). Fixed a bug with reading in long data types on 68k Macs. 1.0.0 (29/9/97) First public release. Planed Features In no particular order of importance, some of the features planned for future versions are: Linked controls A link between controls will allow controls to affect each other. This would happen in two ways: 1. A control could enable or disable other controls. For example, a checkbox might be disabled until another checkbox is checked. 2. A control could change the value of other controls. For example, increasing a character's 'strength' might increase their 'bonus to hit'. An option would be provided to disable on-the-fly linking. Multiple modules -1- Currently, only one module can be used at a time. In a future version of ACE, all modules will be available simultaneously. This would be useful when combined with scripting. List controls A list control (like those in the Chooser) is the best way of presenting a large amount of information that is complicated or which may change in size (number). For example, the equipment li…

STRATEGY guide “It is an extraordinary era in which we live. It is altogether new. The world has seen nothing like it before. The age is remarkable for scientific research into the heavens, the earth, and what is beneath the earth. And perhaps more remarkable still for the app- lication of this scientific research into the pursuits of life. The progress of the age has almost outstripped human belief. The future is known only to omniscients.” Daniel webster 3 I TABLE OF CONTENT II INTRODUCTION 6 EDUCATION SPENDING & STRATEGY 30 ADMINISTRATION & CRIME FIGHTING 30 III USING THE INTERFACES 7 SOCIAL SPENDING 31 FOR UNCIVILISED INTERFACES 8 MILITARY SPENDING 31 MAPMODES 8 VIII GOVERNMENT, ELECTIONS, POLICIES & REFORM 32 IV KNOW YOUR COUNTRY & NEIGHBOURS 10 NATIONAL FOCUS STRATEGY 32 EXPAND YOUR HORIZONS 11 POLITICAL MANAGEMENT 33 POTENTIAL THREATS & ALLIES 11 RULING PARTY, UPPER & LOWER HOUSES 34 POTENTIAL TARGETS 11 GOVERNMENT POLICIES 35 FOG OF WAR: WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW 11 STATE ECONOMIES & LESSER BREEDS 35 PLAY STYLES 11 REFORM 36 POLITICAL REFORMS 37 V POP MANAGEMENT 12 SOCIAL REFORMS 38 POP TYPES 12 ELECTIONS & ELECTION STRATEGY 38 USING THE POPULATION INTERFACE 14 COALITIONS & HOW TO USE THEM 39 THE MEASURES OF A POP – CONSCIOUSNESS, PLURALITY, MILITANCY & LITERACY 15 ix GOODS, MARKETS & TRADE 40 INFLUENCING IMMIGRATION, EMIGRATION & PROMOTION 18 USING INTERNAL MARKETS 40 Slavery & The American Civil War 20 The Waning of the Ottoman Crescent 41 STOCKPILE MANAGEMENT …
