Marcus, that looks great!  We were hoping to one day have a visual
editor for the non-map game resources.

After a fresh install of the DB2ACK V1.3, I pointed the AckTool to
my .../DB2ACK/Adventures/SampleAdventure directory, and it seemed to
accept that.  I was able to open the adventure text window and view
and edit all the text.  But when I try any of the other classes, the
program crashes with:

"Runtime error 339, component cNumberBox.ocx or one of its
dependencies not correctly registered - a file is missing or
invalid."

Should I try getting a new Visual Basic runtime library?  If so, can
you add instructions to your readme with the exact link, version
number, etc?

A few other suggestions:

- Include in docs, descriptions of the icons -- I got load and save
because the mouseover displays the text, but none of the other icons
are obvious

- Include in the docs, a description of all the files your program
tries to read when you open a project.  I was unable to load my
Return of Kraan project -- maybe you expect a certain directory
structure to exist at the root directory of the project?
