This program generates Harpoon II battleset
file (*.DSD) from the battleset description.
The battleset description is a plain text
file. It's structure must be as follows:

-------------------------------------------------

\N
Battleset name goes here

\D
Battleset desription
goes here.

\S
Scenario1 name 
File path relative to H2 the BATTLSET directory

Scenario2 name
File path relative to the H2 BATTLSET directory

-------------------------------------------------

  The battleset name can be up to 18 chars long
and must fit into a single line.
  The battleset description can be up to 65535
chars long and can take as many lines as
necessary.
  The scenario name can be up to 32 chars
long and must fit into a single line.

  Chars include spaces, periods, newline
characters, etc.

Example:
----------------
\N
Test Battleset

\D
This is a test battleset

\S
Test scenario
test\scenar1.scn
-----------------

See also TEST.TXT and the generated TEST.DSD
for details

Command line format:

  MKBS description_file

For example

  MKBS TEST.TXT

The program generates file under the same name
with DSD extension in the same dir as the
description file.

The program catches most of the syntax and
file I/O errors.

The program can be freely distributed as long
as my name is still being displayed on startup.
It is supplied 'as is' without warranties of
any kind. Nevertheless, one can contact me
by E-Mail to report bugs, wishes or just
to say hello :-).
