	Nope, YOU were wrong. BattleForce has changed it's name and is
now MechForce. Ralph did this to prevent possible lawsuits from the
company that holds the rights to the "BattleMech" names. He has also changed
the names of some of the robots, as those were also copyrighted by
FSA. Old mechs will still work, and no one says you have to delete those
with the copyrighted names... He also had to change the house names, but
guess what? He lets you create a file on disk containing any house names
you want, and ships a sample copy with the old house names.
	I have been able to get it set up so that other than some of
the new features it is identical to the previous versions, which is
what I expect most people will do.
