That aspect of JSWED has been around for quite a while; I used it to
create JSW2: Super Pre-School Edition. Hence also my comment in
message 4604 about the JSW2 compression system; the compressor in
JSWED was able to fit 135 rooms into JSW2:SPSE as opposed to 134 in
JSW2 itself.

It allows guardians to collide with things. That's got to be worth
something.

Weirdness. In my copy there's a string at #6480 reading

THE FINAL FROINTIER BY D.P.ROWSON.

and I thought it would be in all copies, so I made JSWED check for it.
Try entering it with the Hex editor, saving, and then reloading. For
ease of keying, it should look like this in the editor:

6480: THE FINA
6488: L FROINT
6490: IER BY D
6498: .P.ROWSO
64A0 N.

The bottom of Dr. Broad's list - just before "Other Future Games".
