Release notes on the source code:

A message from Dave Clark:
> I have already begun to take emails requesting assistance with the
> compilation of the Sopwith code place on sopwith.org.  Although I would
> like to have the time to help everyone with its recompilation, I simply
> don't have the time.  If I can, I would like to ask that emails directed to
> me concerning the code be restricted to the higher level "Why did you do it
> this way", rather than the more "nuts and bolts" type questions (i.e. The
> source won't compile under Frisbot C++, what's wrong?).  If you really hit
> a roadblock with a particular piece of the code, I will help if I can, but
> please be very specific as to what the problem is (specific lines of codes,
> error messages, etc).  If anyone else wants to become a Sopwith porting
> expert, and is able to handle the support calls involved, my best wishes to
> that person.
>
> The code is written to compile under Microsoft C V6.0 (for DOS) and
> Microsoft Assembler V5.1 (for DOS).  I'm truly sorry, but I do not have the
> time to assist in porting it to any other compilers.
>
> I would ask that all questions concerning the code be sent to the Sopwith
> development eGroup, rather than to me directly.  In that way, the greater
> number of people can contribute to and learn from the answers.
>
> I hope I'm not coming across too heavy here.  I thoroughly encourage what
> folks are doing with Sopwith.  Time permitting, I will attempt to answer
> every eMail regarding Sopwith.  Please be patient, as Sopwith has become an
> unexpected addition to an already busy schedule.
>
> Thanks for you consideration
> Dave Clark

                  definitions of the various structs.
    STD.H       - Header defining some handy macros and prototypes for some of
                  the functions in BMBLIB.C
    SWDEVE.H    - Defines the "DEVELOPE" macro.
    SWMACH.H    - Defines either the "IBMPC" macro or the "ATARI" macro
                  depending on the machine being compiled for.
    SYSINT.H    - Defines register structures used by sysint and sysint21 and
                  interrupts.
    SWMISC.C    - Miscellaneous support functions ("puts" function)
    _INTC.C     - Functions to handle Sopwith's interrupt vector table
    BMBLIB.C    - BMB library routines (command line processing, system
                  interrupts, hardware I/O and memory copying).
    SWASYNIO.C  - Asynchronous (serial port) communications

    SWCOLLSN.C  - Collision detection routines
    SWDISP.C    - Display players and objects
    SWEND.C     - End of game cleanup and statistics

    SWMOVE.C    - Update objects
    SWMULTIO.C  - Imaginet multiplayer communications
    SWNETIO.C   - Modern networking replacement for SWMULTIO.C (or at least, it
                  will be...)
    SWOBJECT.C  - Routines for manipulating the object list
    SWSOUND.C   - Sound routines
    SWTITLE.C   - The title screen

Andrew Jenner stuff:
  General stuff:
    MAKEFILE     - Make file. Works with Borland make. Doesn't work with GNU
                   make for reasons which escape me (please tell me if you
                   know). Don't know about other flavours of make.

                   with Borland TLINK 2.0.
    RESPONS2.RSP - Linker command line (response) file to link Sopwith 2. Works
                   with Borland TLINK 2.0.
