Fallout 1 High Resolution Patch

This program modifies "falloutw.exe" in memory for the purposes of increasing the visual resolution. It also allows for movement of the taskbar and most, if not all menus and panels by way of variables listed in the included "f1_res.ini" file.

This Mod supports the US 1.1, Polish 1.2/TeamX and TeamX's English 1.2 versions of the "falloutw.exe". The TeamX version is the same EXE used in their fallout 1.3.3 patch. Some other versions will also work but will be recognized as one of the versions listed above. It was compiled with "Visual C++ 6.0 -sp6" and should work on most versions of Windows.
