    About SFC    
    ~~~~~~~~~

    The  Story File Compiler  for  Windows  (SFCWIN)  is a  Windows
    program  that generates  Story Twister Story Files  from  Story
    Source Files (SSFs). SSFs are created using any text editor and
    follow a specific format listed below.

    Story Source File Format
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    A Story Source File (SSF) follows this format:

        [info]
        "Story Name"
        ^This is a description for my story^

        [story]
        An SSF example. This file has no blanks!

    
    Adding Blanks
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    To add a blank all you have to do is insert a control sequence
    that corresponds to the needed word type.

    Here is a list of the different types of blanks and their
    functions:

        <---1--->  = "ING" WORD
        <---2--->  = VERB
        <---3--->  = NOUN
        <---4--->  = NAME
        <---5--->  = STATE
        <---6--->  = CITY
        <---7--->  = COUNTRY
        <---8--->  = ADVERB
        <---9--->  = ADJECTIVE
        <---A--->  = COLOR
        <---B--->  = CELEBRITY
        <---C--->  = LAST NAME
        <---D--->  = FAMOUS QUOTE
        <---E--->  = NUMBER

    Here is an example:

        <---4---> <---C---> once quoted, "<---D--->!"

    When Story Twister reads this line the user is prompted for
    a name, last name, and a famous quote.

    The character '\' is used to generate a carriage return, because
    by default SFC replaces carriage returns with spaces.
