 This source file contains code to produce the Big Code File for Apple II
 Elite. The Big Code File comprises the game code and the ship blueprints.


 This source file produces the following binary files:

   * CODE.unprot.bin
   * CODE1.unprot.bin
   * CODE2.unprot.bin

 after reading in the following files:

   * ELTA.bin
   * ELTB.bin
   * ELTC.bin
   * ELTD.bin
   * ELTE.bin
   * ELTF.bin
   * ELTG.bin
   * ELTH.bin
   * ELTI.bin
   * ELTJ.bin
   * ELTK.bin
   * SHIPS.bin
