2 ways:
1. copy the whole folder and make a new shortcut to the exe
2. Use JSGME

I was thinking about putting it in a new folder.  So I would just right click and hit the shortcut button.  Is this right.

It's a generic mod enabler. So you can switch mods, maps, exe's etc. It is easy to use imho but given the size of HDD's these days it would be just easier to copy the folder. And yes, right click and copy the whole game folder and then go into that folder and find the exe and right click, send to, desktop. Then set your -switches in the properties of that shortcut.

Seems like the only time I can plan a decent invasion.

Status: online 		New scenarios and new AI scripts? I've been away from the game for a while taking care of IRL issues and the new stuff sounds interesting. Can anyone point me to what DOCUP is referring to?
