Poke around with it in ResEdit; it appears to _already_ have a level editor
which has been crippled/disabled.  I flamed about this a while ago but I guess
that was before a lot of people had it and knew what I was flaming about.

Flame flame.  I hate crippleware.  (don't have the energy to get hotter right

editor.
