How to modify Alpha Centauri Alien Crossfire?

This site gives some excellent information about how to modify various text files to tweak the original game.

Is there a similar way to tweak Alien Crossfire?

Update:
For instance, it says:

In the FACTION.TXT file find the #FACTION line  
      (e.g. #GAIANS ) Two lines below that, add TECH,[short name],  
      (e.g. TECH, Ecology, )

Curiously, the FACTIONS.TXT contains only Gaians. There does, however, seems to be one file for each faction, so I edited CYBORG.TXT, changing the following

^TECH: {Information Networks, Applied Physics}

to

^TECH: {Information Networks, Applied Physics, Bio-Engineering, 
        Bio Engineering, BioEng, Eudomania, Planetary Networks}

but had none of those when the game started. Any ideas?
