ResEdit Templates

The file GWRes2 includes a single string resource, "Hello", which is a message from programmer Roy Harvey:

For any hackers in the crowd, I
have included the resEdit
templates so you can play with
some of the Grid Wars data...

True to his word, the file also contains TMPL resources that translate the hexadecimal soup of the game's level parameters into a series of forms that you can fill out from within the resource editor.
