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out-of-date.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.
