     1. INSTALLING THE PLUGIN

*****************************************************************

To install the plugin, unzip the files into the Morrowind/Data Files
directory.

*****************************************************************

     2. PLAYING THE PLUGIN

*****************************************************************

From the Morrowind Launcher, select Data Files and check the box 
next to the B79_Bear Companion v2.0.esp file.

Adds a snow bear cub on the docks at Fort Frostmoth who will join up with you 
as a loyal companion. This companion is equipped with a version of Grumpy's
warping script, to prevent him from getting lost on you.

Note that this companion does not include the companion share feature,
for the same reason Grumpy didn't include it in his wolf companion mod. 
This bear is intended to be able to fight alongside you and provide his
company, not to carry all your crap.

The bear will start out quite small, and will actually grow as it gains 
levels, finally ending up slightly smaller than the regular snow bears in
Bloodmoon. This growth will happen at levels 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30. It 
will level up when you do, as long as it is with you, but will never catch 
up to your level if you wait to go get it.

Also, new in this version, the bear will now automatically levitate or
waterwalk whenever you do.

Note that, since I am no longer using the BAR prefix in my IDs for new 
releases (mostly because Barabus uses that prefix also), this version 
should work alongside the previous version of the mod. That said, however,
I will no longer be distributing the old version, and this one will replace
it on all sites where the original was hosted.

     3. Save Games

*****************************************************************

This plugin should not invalidate your old saved games. If you remove the
plugin from a game already in progress, you will have to click through
all those error messages.  However, you should be able to continue on afterward.

**Note: As a rule, you should backup all your saves before using this or any
other plugin, as a precaution against any strange error you might encounter.

     6. Credits

*****************************************************************

Grumpy - for his wonderful warping script. Thanks to him, companions have
actually become useful.

Grumpy, Emma, and anyone else who has created a companion mod. Without you
guys, it never would have occurred to me to do this mod.

Bethesda Softworks - for providing the community with this awesome game.
