                    Charles - The Pandemonium Customizer
                    ------------------------------------

The Charles utility allows the user to customize certain audio and graphical
features of Pandemonium.

Changing Nikki's Face:
----------------------

To change Nikki's face, you need to do a full install of Pandemonium. You also
need an uncompressed BMP file that is 64 pixels wide and 64 pixels high, in
256 colors.

Usage: CHARLES jesters.pkg nikkiface myface.bmp

Your new graphic is 'myface.bmp'. Run Charles from your install directory.
The file JEANFACE.BMP (in the Charles directory) can be used to restore the
original graphics.


Changing the Goon Honcho's Face in the Second Boss Level:
---------------------------------------------------------

As before, you need to have done a full install of Pandemonium, rather than
a compact install. The new BMP file must be a 24-bit color BMP, which is
128 pixels wide and 104 pixels high. KINGHEAD.BMP in the Charles directory is
the original graphic.


Usage: CHARLES jesters.pkg  goonking myface.bmp

Your new graphic is 'myface.bmp'. Run Charles from your install directory.




Future versions of this utility will be more extensive and not quite so fussy
about the sort of BMP files you give it.

Future versions may include:
        - fathead mode for Nikki or Fargus,                
        - change the sound effects using your own WAV files.
