Just replace or run exe from zip??? Hm...but how can I check that mod actually works?

Hehe, tnx for the mod, but i need instruction how to istall it. I did something, I wrote "patch -p0 < uqm-0.6.2-kh-dcm.diff" command, but year is still 2157...

Hello, I have 2 questions, that bothers me all time when I play UQM.
1. I remember, in DOS version, there was crew limit(few thousand ppl if I not mistaking), but what about UQM version? If crew in unlimited, I can kick all alien butts with no worries that I dont lose all my crew in game....but if crew is limited...I need to fight very carefully!

2. Is there a time limit to the game?
I read this one in Wiki FAQ, but I didn't understand exactly, that quote was from DOS version and have no reference to UQM game, or here is the same? I must complete game before January 2159 or not? It will sux, if UQM HAVE a LIMIT, coz I want to explore EVERY SINGLE PLANET!!!

Waiting for responce.
Thanks for attention.
