Wing Commander Secret Ops Ship Swapper

* MAJOR BUG FIX

This version does NOT modify DATA.TRE.  Use if you're having problems with
SOSHIP v1.0/a/b.

Version 1.0a/b notes:

In my haste to release, I made a minor calculation mistake (it was off by 1).
Unless you've got godly amounts of system memory, WC:SO would start
allocating hundreds of megabytes to one (or more) files and crash.

This program should be more or less bug-free after this point.

This patch should allow (eager) players to swap the three ships in the
first episode for ships [we've] been itching to try...  the Excalibur and
the Thunderbolt!  This patch modifies the DATA.TRE.  Unzip the contents of
the ZIP into your Wing Commander Secret Ops directory and MAKE SURE
THAT YOU'RE RUNNING THIS PROGRAM FROM YOUR WING COMMANDER SECRET OPS
DIRECTORY!  OTHERWISE IT WON'T WORK!!!  The interface is the same as
WCPCRAZY v1.1, so it's very easy to use.

This should work on the English version of Secret Ops...  if it doesn't,
email me at apfong@yahoo.com and I'll try to help you out.

BTW, since this program modifies DATA.TRE, something screws up, you'll have
to reunzip it from the download package (yes, the 65 MB or 112 MB file
is a huge ZIP file.  Use PKUNZIP or WinZIP to extract it).

File list:

Thanks goes out to Mario "HCl" Brito for info on the WCP TRE format and
file decompressor.
