A Big thanks goes to the guys in the EAW Code group that made the 1.28e FAW update possible, especially to:
Knegel and MrJelly.

And the update had never been possible without the handy editors by MrJelly!

I made the FAW update myself - except for the FM/DM update which Knegel did - but some other peoples work was included, please check the readme file for details.

Thanks to all that have contributed!

FAW is now available for download on the FAW page on my site.
