Subject: Pfhred 1.3, a Marathon Shapes Editor

It offers the following features to edit the Shapes file with:
* Pasting of new pictures into a shapes file.
* Copying of old pictures out of a shapes file.
* Modifying how an animation occurs, such as time between frames, or
the the sounds to be associated with the animation.
* Addition of new animation groups, like assembling a real animation
for attack Bobs
* Addition of more walls, don't just replace them, add more!
* Clut Management. Rearrange cluts, change colors, add more variations.
Can even Load and Save Cluts in a way Photoshop can now use.
* Viewing of the shapes in relation to their direction and frame,
-Rotate a given shape left or right as allowable
-Step through the frames of a shape, getting a feel for how it
animates.
* Ability to view the shape scaled, see what it looks like far away
or up close and personal.
* Display of where the keypoint and origin of a shape lie, and the
ability to drag them to new locations.
* Changing a single field for a creature to resize all of
the creature's graphics. (ie, Giant Bob's and midget Pfhor)

Version 1.3 greatly robustifies Pfhred in editing and file saving.
It also introduces the sound browser to try and select sounds from
Marathon's sound file. And allows you to have the associated sounds played
while viewing an animation.
Also, Reverting is now enabled, HLS can be deleted, and saving needs less
memory.

Requirements: System 7 and a Marathon Shapes file.
