- I am working towards removing all text language from the game
- executables. The first part of this attempt has been the removal
- of the instruction or information texts (most notabley the *.INS
- files). Hopefully future versions will also come with a compiled
- language file (compiler will be provided) that includes every
- piece of text used by the game. This will allow for foreign
- language, multilingual, or even personalized (ie TrekSpeak) versions
- of the games to be available. If you translate any of the texts,
- please let me know. What follows is a description of the text
- files used by the doors.
