TAB - Windows IF/Text Adventure Maker

[catventure]

21 Aug 2023 (Release 71)
====================
*UPDATED System Message 48 has been expanded to include text customisation of TAB game window menu bar items. (useful for other language and translation purposes)

If using a database created with prior version 70 then to make compatible before running it will be necessary to add menu text items [43] to [52] to the System Message 48 list - as shown in the "default database" in this version 71 otherwise the menu bar items will not appear in the TAB Player game window.

*NEW Split-Screen Graphic/Text version. Replaces previous horizontal graphics version.

*NEW "lock" and "unlock" actions in graphics versions of TAB to disable/enable window resizing in the TAB game window.
