  Sorry about the "name" cock-up.  Anyway, get the file to your
Amiga and add ".lzh".  You should then un-lharc it and away
you go.
  "More realistic" means
  - Obvious errors were fixed
  - Data was brought up to the status of the Harpoon 1990-91 Data
   Annex (for the board game).  Much data was changed in this
   product, especially so for sonars.  The question of whether
   Harpoon is capable of being "really" realistic is philosophical
   and I can't answer, but I think you'd agree you can get closer.
  - I chopped a convergence zone off all sonars.  So sue me, or
    add them back, it's easy.  ASW in Harpoon is still pretty bad,
    but it was worse before.
