		XCPSI100.ZIP for XCOM - UFO DEFENSE

XCOM can be brutal enough when the Mutons get ahold of your GreenHorn
Squad, but when Psi enters the picture, Mutons start to look pretty
good.  This file, when run, will boost all current troops Psi Strength
to the MAX of 100.  This 'cheat' allows you to learn how to deal with 
the first 3 dimensions of the BattleScape, without having to deal with
the forth, Mental Warfare.

PSI.EXE is extremely terse to the user, if you blink you will have 
missed it on a fast machine. (in fact, it prints nothing to the screen 
at all) But I have tested it as much as I can see it requiring and
find it works quite well.  There is no error checking of the files 
existance, so it's up to you to see it go's into the proper directory

To use, drop the PSI.EXE in the save directory (1 to 10) you want to 
alter and run it.  It makes a backup of your original SOLDIER.DAT as 
SOLDIER.BAK.  You'll want to run this 'cheat' whenever you recruit new 
troops.  There is also a Log File created called OLDPSI.LOG for any who
are interested in seeing your troops old Psi scores.

I created this for newbies (me too!) to get a break on the learning 
curve (This game is cruel enough w/o Psi,) and would recommend this 
'cheat' to be used as 'training wheels', eventually you SHOULDN'T 
NEED IT!  

I used Microsoft's QB45 and I/O routines from ProBas 5.6 for speed, 
EXE size and clarity.  If you program in BASIC for DOS, take a look
at ProBas, it's priceless!

Well enough of that, Back to those Muton-ous Aliens we have come to 
know and love.   
		
		May your troops find open fields & daylight 
		on your next Snakeman TerrorShip CrashSite!
