INFORMATION
=========================================================================================

fatGUI is a simple program which regenerates the fifa.fat file in various versions of 
FIFA, EURO and TCM, so that you can import files into the zdata_XX.big files in .\data\.  
Previously, it was not possible to import files that are larger than the original or did 
not exist in the first place.


=========================================================================================
NEW IN VERSION 1.3
=========================================================================================

- Support for FIFA 06 demo.
  Note: You may get a error message saying: Not a valid big file: zdata_00.big
        This can be safely ignored. To prevent this message from appearing, 
        simply delete zdata_00.big as it doesn't contain any files.

=========================================================================================
NEW IN VERSION 1.2
=========================================================================================

- Support for FIFA 2005 demo.

=========================================================================================
NEW IN VERSION 1.1
=========================================================================================

- Instead of adding only the zdata_xx.big files, all *.big files in the 
  current directory are processed. Therefore, you can put all your
  own files in a seperate big without affecting the originals.

  Limitations: Maximum of 99 big files (including zdata_xx files).
               Maximum of 15 characters for each big's filename.

- Fixed bug related with using capitalized extensions (i.e. FSH instead 
  of fsh). (Thanks to zlojack from ECP forums).

=========================================================================================
INSTALLATION
=========================================================================================

1. Extract fatgui.exe to the data folder of your game.

=========================================================================================
USAGE
=========================================================================================

1. Import the files into the zdata_XX.big files or a new big file as normal, using 
   programs such as BigGUI. You can leave them compressed, or uncompressed.

2. Run fatGUI, click on Process, and wait for the fifa.fat file to be regenerated.
