Like many DOS utilities, SuperMen does not require actual installation, but it requires to be launched from the XCOM directory. Copy the file to the game folder and that's all.
	Once the "editor" is "installed" you use it by opening a command prompt and entering SUPERMEN followed by the save game number. i.e. SUPERMEN 7 will enhance all the soldiers of save slot 7. There is no option to enhance a single soldier or selected soldiers. All you soldiers in all you bases will be enhanced.

	If you play a long game (in game time. Say 9 months) and used SuperMen at it's beginning your soldier's stats may actually become negative due to training and experience. Since XCOM keeps the stats as signed integer a superman with 220 TUs may gain more 40 TUs through training, but with signed integer 220+40= -4.		If you play a long game (in game time.

'''SuperMen''' is not a true editor. It does only one thing, in which it excels: It turns the normal, human, cannon-fodder combatants to a bunch of supermen. This turns the game to a walkthrough, even at the "Superhuman" difficulty setting.
Basically, it is good for two things:
1. It is a very good way to learn stuff like [[spawn points]], as your soldiers can get from one end of the battle map to the other in a single turn.
2. It was originally created to prevent the heartache of players that actually regard their virtual soldiers as real humans, and then saw them go out one by one.

Using supermen loosing a battle become quite difficult. You may loose a soldier here and there through carelessness, but any remotely feasible tactic would result in a perfect mission score:
