"I would like to thank Westpark Gamers for offering to host this work for present and future 1830 players. If not for Westpark Gamers, I myself would still be clueless how to play 1830-PC. Please note that much of the knowledge I present is not original thought, but ideas I picked up from reading other materials hosted by Westpark Gamers." Mark "MarkShot" Kratzer - 11/23/08
