		11.2.3  Unit Data Files
	There are four data files in the subdirectory Data\Unit Data that contain all the information on the units.   They are:
•	Standard Units AIR.CSV - air units
•	Standard Units LND.CSV - land units
•	Standard Units NAV.CSV - naval units
•	Standard Units SPC.CSV - special units
•	Standard Units LDR.CSV - leader units (not used in MWIF product 1)

	Also in this subdirectory are the unit write-ups: MWIF Air.txt, MWIF Land.txt, and MWIF Naval.txt.  The unit ID numbers cross reference the unit data file entries with the unit write-ups and the unit bitmaps.

•	Unit name (may be blank)
•	Abbreviated name (may be blank)
•	Year built

	Air units have the additional 26 data fields:
