* puzzleset.doc: Describes what makes up a puzzle set.
* sql.doc: This file lists and documents each of the SQL functions and SQL
tables that are available. This is not relevant to programming the rules
of the game; it is used for user customization, and for performing batch
operations when editing, and for producing reports.
=== Conversion from other games ===
There are programs to convert from other engines, mostly in the misc/
directory (except Hero Hearts, which is in the main directory).
* Hero Hearts: Free Hero Mesh was invented to play puzzles from Everett
Kaser's MESH engine; in that case, the mbtofhm program is used. Give the
base name of the output files as the command-line argument, and receives
the contents of the .mb file from stdin.
* Vampiric Tower: A DOS game. The misc/vtower.class contains class
definitions and vtower_export.ps is a PostScript program which converts
levels in the Vampiric Tower format to Free Hero Mesh export format. It
requires two command-line arguments, being the name of the level file
to read from, and the zero-based level number. The second argument is
optional; if it is omitted, then zero is assumed by default.
(Hopefully there will be more in future.)
