  KLBEDIT Usage Notes:
  =======================================
  1) Obtain current copy of beta program from me via email.
     It will be distributed inside klb-edit.zip beta archive.

  2) Unzip all files from KLB-EDIT.ZIP into your IGM directory,
     using overwrite mode so you get the newest files.

  3) Change into the KL Bank IGM directory.  Verify you have
     a current BANKPLAY.DAT file.  If you don't, then you can't
     use KLBEDIT.EXE.

  =========================================================
  Updating from KLBank v1.30 to current Beta:

  If you have just started using the new betas, use the
  CONVBANK.EXE utility to translate your old v1.30 bankplay.dat
  database file to use the player database structure now in use.

  See CONVBANK.TXT file for further details, or the CONVBANK
  docs section in the KITBANK.TXT file for full instructions.

  ** DO NOT use KLBEDIT v1.02+ betas on your bankplay.dat file
  until you have it converted using the CONVBANK.EXE program,
  or until you have created a new Bankplay.dat from scratch
  using KLBank v1.32+ Betas. **
  =========================================================

  4) The first time you run the utility, it will ask you for
     the path to the KL Bank IGM directory.  Type it in, and
     press ENTER to exit the dialog box prompt.  KLBEDIT.CFG
     file will be created in that directory.

  5) Run KLBEDIT.EXE.  If a config file is not in the directory
     you run it from, it will ask you to create on - as noted
     above.  If config file is found, it then checks for existence
     of BANKPLAY.DAT file.  If one is not found, program will
     give error message and quit working.

     KLBEDIT has only one screen of data.  It shows database
     fields in the order they are listed in the player database
     record structure (usually).  Each value, with one exception,
     may be set to any value that is valid for it.

     The Lord Player Number field is display-only.  That is because
     I don't see any valid reason to allow users to fiddle around
     the LORD Player Number field.

  6) When you exit KLBEDIT, it will resave the BANKPLAY.DAT
     file so that any changes you made will be accessible to
     the IGM.         End of Notes for KLBEDIT usage.
