The UnitViewer I have in my JTCS folder is an older build. However, the latest few "2-series" (version number begins with 2.*) UnitViewers should work both with JTCS games and with Middle East 1.x games.

Middle East 2.0 will ship with a new UnitViewer community tool by Arkady, of "3-series" version number. It won't support JTCS anymore. So keep those old UnitViewers around.

Here's Middle East 1.02 viewed by an older JTCS UnitViewer that came with JTCS 2.02 I believe.

Do check Arkady's UnitViewer website for latest development. ("3-series" UnitViewer is under testing and not released yet.)

UnitViewer can be accessed in-game by hitting F3. If you have an unit active, it opens with that particular unit data displayed.

It was a very late addition to 1.02 as I recall, just made the deadline, and included co-operation with UnitViewer programmer Arkady. I was not sure it made the manual, but checked and found a mention at p. 37 in 1.02 manual.
