Is this in the main RaceConfig file or in one of the single-race files under My Documents?

i had to down load an xml notepad becouse the one i got with vista didn't do xml

also i had a question about tech

i removed all of the starting techs from everyone but the dreadlords.

do the other races still get to spend points on techs at the start of the game

The format of the race files in my documents are not identical to that in raceconfig.xml. So if you're going to put your modded race there, you should start from the Terran Alliance.customracexml file rather than copying the Terran block from RaceConfig.xml.
