RoT uses the RoT-Install.bat and opens with it the readme at the end of the installation:

pause
 
notepad RoTerror\Readme.txt

I think it is better to ask the gamer if he wants to read the readme and then before the installation and not after it. Therefore the notepad command in the RoT-Install.bat should be deleted and the README command should be added in the TP2.

A Megamod does not mean that you can play all of the mods or all of their content,
but you have more choices or paths through the game.

Who reads the readme anyway? I see your point but it is not like RoT has 30 components to install like tweaks where the person installing would like background on each component and then waffle the idea of whether to install it or not.

So is that yes, or no? Cause, it would be much cleaner to not force people to read the readme(or make the BW-P/-I/-S people to code the .bat) just for this reason.

Thus Leomars the request is in all the Large mod forums, not just RoTs.
