This is a release of the source code which is capable of loading and saving
Morrowind's ESM/ESP/ESS master/plugin/save game files. It is being released since 
I see alot of projects (or could-be projects) that use or need to load the ESP
files and it would be convienient to have a common code base. It's also easier 
than me writing a complete ESP format document from the source code.

	- The code is provided as-is.
	- I am in no way related to Bethesda Softwarks. The code is completely unofficial.
	- I've used the code extensively in a number of projects. As far as I'm aware,
	  it is 100% capable of loading/saving all ESM/ESP/ESS files.
    - The generic nature of the ESM/ESP/ESS format means that the code can load any
	  record or sub-record even if the specific format is not known. For example, say
	  Bethesda adds the 'TEST' record type to the ESM format in the future, the code
	  will still work fine.
    - Note that the only difference between the ESM/ESP/ESS files are the addition or
	  exclusion of certain record types. There are some record types in the ESS file 
	  that I do not have specific classes for.
    - The specific format/content of some of the sub-records is not well known. If you
	  find any errors or additions, feel free to let me know.
	- Similarily, if you make any additions or improvements to the code, or have some
	  suggestions, feel free to contact me.
	- Add sample Visual C++ v6.0 project is included as a basic demonstration on how to
	  use the code to load/save/edit ESM/ESP/ESS files. I assume that if you're making
	  any Morrowind editting utility you know at least some programming.

If you do happen to actually use this code in a project that is released, let me know 
about it so I can check it out and add it to my site. Enjoy!
