frnt00001.ppm is a copy of FRNT0001.PCX, only darker and a few changed elements.

The old folder, as the name implies, has graphics left over from a slightly earlier build, though differences beyond brightness and notes are minimal.

    Mail:

        At least the sound menu works:

        Frogger.inc has variable: NumSounds
        mel.asm is where sounds are placed
        Two labels in frogger.asm: melody_high
            and melody_low are where pointers
            to sounds are placed.  There needs
            to be as many entries in these tables
            as the number for NumSounds.

        Unfortunately, sounds only work in the menu
        (the menu and the sounds share the same bank now.)

        Sounds do not work right in the game-- the game and
        the sounds do not share the same bank.  The code
        switches to the sound bank-- but it doesn't seem
        to help.

        Which means I need more help!

    Done:

            Sounds working in menu only
            animations
            Frog safe animation
            Demo mode in and working.
            Support for five frogs per level
            Control panel installed.
            Installed initial sound driver.

            Game 50% done.

    Making the Product:

        tombox.bat is the name of the bat file to use in the
        "Batch File" field in the MSDOS properties dialog box.

        makeonly.bat is the bat file which makes everything.
