  0. DESCRIPTION
________________________________________________________________________________

This patch for FF3us is a simplified alternative to Terii Senshi's "Rage" patch
for the Chupon and Siegfried rages.

Terii Senshi's patch makes the Chupon and Siegfried rages learnable by enabling
the two enemies to appear on the Veldt once they have been encountered in the
coliseum.

This patch immediately grants the rage for Chupon and Siegfried once the enemy
is fought by Gau in the coliseum. It does NOT enable Chupon and Siegfried to be
encountered on the Veldt, nor does it affect Allo Ver.

For a compatible Allo Ver patch, see "Master ZED's Allo Ver fix" patch by
Assassin:

This patch occupies free space originally taken by Terii Senshi's original
"Rage" patch.
