        F302COOL is a Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) program that will
work with the ThrustMaster FCS allowing you to program the "Coolie Hat" and 
Buttons 3 and 4 to any keystroke on the keyboard, (including SHFT/CTRL/ALT 
keys). You can also program "double-click" funtions to any button or hat 
position. For example: By default the Hat is programmed to switch between  
forward, back, right and left views depending on what direction you push it.
If you push the Hat up twice, it will switch to Padlock view.

To program your FCS, I supplied a small program called COOLKEY.COM. This
program will ask you to press which keystroke you want for each Hat position
and Button. After you make your keystroke selections, it will write a file 
named F302COOL.CFG. This file must be in the same directory as F302COOL.COM 
when you load it. If F302COOL can't find the F302COOL.CFG file, it assumes 
you want to use the defaults.

No modification is required to the Falcon program. Simply run the F302COOL
program, or use LOADHIGH to load it into high memory. The first step is to
calibrate your Coolie Hat. Just follow the on-screen instructions, this only
takes a few seconds. Next F302COOL will check to see if the F302COOL.CFG file
is available, if so it will program the Hat and Buttons. After F302COOL is 
loaded it will automatically check to see if Falcon is running. If Falcon is 
running it will automatically "attach" itself. If Falcon is not running, it 
will simply lay dormant in memory until it senses Falcon. To Uninstall 
F302COOL, just execute the F302COOL.COM program a second time. This will 
remove the TSR from memory. One other thing you should do is select JOYSTICK
from the CONFIG screen instead of THRUSTMASTER. Also, answer NO when you are
asked if you wish to calibrate external throttle during joystick calibration.

F302COOL also has a feature that will allow you to remap your COM3 and COM4
ports to COM1 and COM2 respectively. This will allow people to connect with
Falcon, in one of the communications modes, using COM3 or COM4. To enable the
COM port remap feature, add the /3 or /4 switch after typing F302COOL. For
example: Type F302COOL /3 to remap COM3 to COM1
           or F302COOL /4 to remap COM4 to COM2

        This utility is not supported by Spectrum Holobyte in any way so if
you experience any problems contact me via Compuserve EMail or the MODEMGAMES
forum on Compuserve (GO MODEMGAMES).
