You can install it by (optionally) backing up the original DOS4GW, copying the "DOS32A.exe" executable to the UFO or TFTD game folder then renaming it to "DOS4GW".

			* [[Info (OpenXcom)\|OpenXcom]] is an open source clone/reverse engineered engine for UFO (TFTD support is in beta). Like the CE version, it completely bypasses the need for DOSBox by providing a native executable. Unlike the CE version though, it also provides support for Mac and Linux systems in addition to fixing all the [[Known Bugs\|bugs and limitations]] of the original game. OpenXcom has it's own mod site for mods specific to it available [http://www.openxcom.com/ here].

	* [http://www.stonepool.com/xcom/ XCOMHack and other tools] by Chris Voss ([[User:Hatfarm\|Hatfarm]]). XComHack is a VB program that can edit soldiers, bases, craft, diplomacy and global factors such as money. Pretty much everything that ClarkWehyr can do and easy to use. It is a Visual Basic Forms application and the source code is available to extend. This is probably the easiest to use saved game editor, as it uses a standard GUI familiar to most people. The TFTD version does not have as many features as the UFO version. There are also some more powerful utilities available here to edit & patch the UFO executable - UFO Mod and Patch Maker.		* [http://www.stonepool.com/xcom/ XCOMHack and other tools] by Chris Voss ([[User:Hatfarm\|Hatfarm]]).
