WarCraft II PUD Specs

This information was compiled by Daniel Lemberg, with a trusty hex editor
and a copy of WarCraft II. If you find out what any of the unknown
sections are, let me know at lemberg@bayserve.net, and I'll add your name
and accomplishments to Appendix E. The most recent version of this file
can be obtained at http://www.bayserve.net/~lemberg
