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out-of-date.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.
