What's new:

v0.8:   Inital Release, based on townedit.

Command line parameters:
 Z2NEDIT [filename]

If you do not specify a filename, the program will ask for one.
The default filename is "Zelda2ED.NES"

To edit the disk system version, type 'FDS' as the filename.

The file, "Z2Edit.z2" needs to be in the same directory
as the program and rom.

Remember to make backup copies of your original file, you may need them.

FAQ:

Q: When will you add GAMExxx?
A: As soon as I manage to successfully glitch the maps.

Q: Why is this program slow?
A: It's written in QBASIC. QBASIC is slow.

Notes:

At this time, enterances can't be modified, towns and caves can't be moved.
 (although they can be blocked out)
Consecutive boulders in a row can't be phased with the hammer.
The river devil only reacts to music in East Hyrule.
Although Maze Island is part of death mountain, Maze Island and Death mountain
  maps are two seperate maps in the NES version. (but not in the FDS version)
The 6th palace only appears when a single desert tile block appears in the
  correct location.
Do NOT exceed or miss the 64 tile width per row, or else the game gets out of
  sync.
Do NOT set the file property of the rom to read only or else the editor will
quit when saving files.

Tips:
To add masses in the supereditor when the total is too low, add filler tiles,
  and use the normal editor to change the terrain.
To subtract masses when the total is too high, make less masses by eliminating
  redundant tiles, changing mass lengths to <17, etc...
It takes a little practice to use the supereditor, but it's more convinient
  than the normal editor.
