Notes: Zip of the shareware release; the text is SCORCH.DOC inside it. Locators are line numbers in SCORCH.DOC (the earth-weapons descriptions are near lines 1115-1195). This is version 1.5 (1995), not the 1991 original; versions 1.0 to 1.23 are in the same item.

Scorched Earth 1.5's documentation sorts weapons that remove dirt ("Earth Destroying Weapons") from weapons that add it ("Earth Producing Weapons"): the first can clear a mountain in the way or the ground under the firer's own tank, and Liquid Dirt fills holes and smooths the terrain. Dirt left in the air normally falls; a Suspend Dirt setting, 0 by default, lets it hang.	`SCORCH.DOC lines 1115-1122SCORCH.DOC lines 1168-1169SCORCH.DOC lines 1184-1185SCORCH.DOC lines 1890-1891`	Manual
