I'm trying to faithfully rebuild the original, cleaning up the tree, removing and re-generating as many of the generated files as possible.

I'm trying to produce a working build close to the original, without changing anything apart
6+
from fixing severe bugs that would prevent it from running. The source tree is supposed to
7+
contain just the files required for the build, while everything that can be generated at
8+
build time, will be, as opposed to carrying the pre-processed intermediate files in the
9+
repository. Also, the pre-processing and code generation tools themselves should be built
10+
from source.

### Status
16-
This builds a combined, packed and obfuscated executable similar to the original. A full run of the demo works fine. However, it seems that the released source code is in an earlier state than the final release. Non-essential features like specifying on the command line where to start running or even prematurely exiting in response to a key press do not work as reliably as in the real release.

### How to build
19-
Use nmake on the top-level makefile. No sane dependency tracking is in place, so always rebuilding from a clean working directory is the way to go. I build under Windows XP which seems to leak DOS memory. I have to restart the build three times to have it complete.
