-----------
Fixes:
Bug fix: Removes the delay between Bazooka infantry firing anim and actual projectile launch.

Updated the readme with info on problems with the LAN patch (it apparently makes some internet games unstable, wsock32.dll needs to be moved to the DLLs subfolder if you want to play ROTD over XWIS)

2.8.5 Update/Re-Release
-----------
Fixes:
Bug fix: The mod no longer crashes randomly when navigating the menus/exiting the game and no longer requires Win98/ME compatibility mode under Vista/Win7.

Bug fix (Classic): Bio-Research Lab is no longer buildable at Techlevel 1 in Classic mode.
Bug fix (RR): The Bio Lab code was overhauled. Placement adjacency, power consumption etc. were fixed.
