Re: [xl7] Sh**t! I messed up the update process. EMU, can you help me?

You don't have to install 1.17 first before 1.18.  In fact, you shouldn't,
because one of the bugs with 1.17 was the download process (sequences above
70% full got lost).

You need to download commandprep10.dli first, then xm7v118.dli.

It should be documented in the readme.txt file contained in the zip (that you
read, right?)  =)
