Don't delete it, the game may not run without it.
Start your game from 'mech.exe'

M4 Jess: Just RMB (right mouse button) the desktop icon. Then select 'properties'. Then change the 'target' to 'mech.exe' (along with the higher directories of course).

Nope! If your having trouble with it on a particular setup SPWAW or H2H copy the file over from the other configuration that is working properly. I'd offer you a download link but the only one I had for it is dead. Sorry:(

It is part of the agreement with SSI (original authors) that the credits (vid998.smk file) be included with any distribution of Steel Panthers. Code was added at about version 4.2 to prevent violation of this licence condition when it was discovered that people were deleting it to save hard drive space.

Note that you don't have to view the credits, only have them installed.

Cheers,
Reg.
