    Updates:

    Version Number: Size: Additions or corrections:
    Version 0.10 Beta 516 KB First version of public beta.
    Version 0.12 Beta 2,150 KB Almost completed equipment listings, corrected bugs with BattleSuit displays. I also eliminated a loading error, and added a limited setup program when you start the program for the first time. BTW, I know that this one got way out of control, but I couldn't help it! I'm currently searching for a better compression program, so I can finally put this version up. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Version 0.14 Beta 1,055 KB Added a new category: Reloads. Cut core installation by over 50%. Still dealing with mysterious run-time error.
    Version 0.16 Beta 4,715 KB Full Setup-Wizard Installation. This should eliminate those pesky run-time errors.
    Version 0.20 Beta Update Patch 1,003 KB Much more stable skills and packages interface. Still working on printing, though. Also added more equipment.
