This is Version 0.16 of APTFIX, a utility to assist in development of
scenery with ASD.  It allows the scenery designer to delete old
style (black and white) runways so that he does not need to "paint"
over them to put his own in.


APTFIX consists of two parts: 

		1) APTFIX.EXE for the developer.
		2) AUTOFIX.EXE for the end user.

Use of APTFIX is easy:
	
	In flight simulator, find the airport that you wish to delete.
	Write down the North, and East Coordinates.  (You can be general,
	as you will tell aptfix a box area).  

	For example, to delete Aiken Airport in SD-7, I wrote down 18820E, 
	and 13722N.

	At the Dos prompt, Type:  APTFIX followed by the name of the scenery
	file.

	Example:  
		>APTFIX SD-7.SCN

	Hit Enter.

	APTFIX will prompt you for East, and North Coordinates.

	Example:

		Low East Boundary: 18700
		High East Boundary: 18900
			
 		Low North Boundary: 13600
		High North Boundary: 13800

		(In this way, we've "boxed in" 18820E 13722N.  That way,
		if we were a little off, it will still catch the airport!)

	When APTFIX finds an airport within the specified boundaries, it
	will give you all of the information regarding that runway.  It will
	then ask you whether to Delete it (D) or Ignore it (I).

	APTFIX will continue searching until it finds all of the runways 
	on the scenery disk within the specified  boundaries.

	When APTFIX is done, verify that it correctly deleted your selected
	airport.

	APTFIX will keep track of all of the runways you told it to delete, 
	and store them in a file called APTFIX.PRM.  You will use this file 
	to pass changes on to others, along with your custom scenery.



How an End User uses your changes	
==================================

	In your custom scenery package insert the file APTFIX.PRM.  (And if 
	You've registered with me, insert AUTOFIX.EXE).
	When the user receives your package, all he has to do is 
	Type AUTOFIX SD-7.SCN at the dos prompt, and AUTOFIX will read
	APTFIX.PRM and make the changes that you specified.

	NOTE, if you want to change several airports in several different
	areas, each time you run aptfix, Copy APTFIX.PRM to a temporary
	file name (like SD-7A.PRM, SD-7B.PRM... etc).  Then when you've
	selected all of the runways for deletion, Concatenate all of your
	temporary files together with the dos COPY command. use the /b 
	(binary) option.

	example:
		COPY /B SD-7A.SCN+SD-7B.SCN APTFIX.PRM


	If you like this program, and continue to use it in your scenery 
	design, then I would appreciate you paying me a $10 license fee.

	(Cheap, but almost enough for me to continue providing utilities!)

	IF the response on this is good, I will probably add enhanced 
	capability to it.  Features that I would add would be 
	
	1)  Move, Rotate, Resize runways.
	2)  Delete, Move, Change Freq of VOR's, NDB's, ILS's.

	Please let me know what you think, and if you have any 
	suggestions to make this better.

WHAT'S NEW
==========

Version 0.12 fixes problems with multiple changes to the same scenery disk.
You should rerun autofix with a fresh scenery file (newly converted).
Old PRM files will work fine with this new version.  

Version 0.13 Adds loop to allow multiple searches. (as per request of E.J.
Peiker).

Version 0.14 Fixes (hopefully) problems with runways not being found.

Version 0.16 Fixes a problem with SD-12.
