   I forgot!   
      
   I'm using a tool to build the strings.inc file from a data file and a header   
   list file.  This affects the screen and rules files, too.   
      
   Presently, the tool is only available on Windows but can be ported quite   
   easily.  The main problem is that it is in infancy and is too simple.   
      
   I also used a custom tool to generate tune.s from tune.sng (and then hacked   
   tune.s).   
      
   I have some Windows command shell scripts to build the program and disk   
   image.  For a complete build, it has to be done in two passes since there is   
   still a manual process editing the strings.inc file.  I hate C/C++ and   
   makefiles but if someone else    
   wants to convert them, I guess I wouldn't complain.   
      
   I can provide what I have if you need it.  I haven't put it all in the repo   
   yet because it isn't really finished but if someone else is needing all the   
   tools, I can upload them (and grit my teeth at how poor they are).   
      
   One more thing, the resource files for the sound effects are really   
   out-of-date.  I edited more than a few by hand, directly in the include   
   files.  I think one is entirely hand made.
