Included in this patch:

1) A fix for the invisible unit bug.
2) Two modifications can be made to the sound:  On the command line -w will only 
   play 1 sound at a time, -s will disable the sound card completely.  
3) A fix that allows different languages to play multi-player against each other.  All
   players are required to have installed the new 1.1 patch. 
4) An AI tweak so the enemy Commander is less likely to rush your base, unless provoked.
5) The difficulty settings for skirmish mode has been adjusted so that the differences 
   between easy, medium and hard are more distinct.
6) Miscellaneous improvements


Additional items:
1) Shortcut keys for sending messages in multi-player:
	a ...... sends message to allies
	e ...... sends message to enemies
	
	You can use , or ; or :  in between the shortcut and the message

	Example:  e:this is the end of you!


2) F4 or spacebar will now bring up the leader board in skirmish as well as in multi-player.

3) Type  +switchalt   in the message bar to change the squad select from alt(#1-9) 
   to (#1-9).  This changes the unit menu call from (#1-9) to alt(#1-9)
   This setting will be remembered the next time you play.
