(Up to Options file (first generation))
OPTION FILE RESEARCH
// the "DEFAULT.OPT" file has "WRM2OPTN" in the first 7 bytes. Options created by v1.05 instead have "WRM2OPT2".
// "DEFAULT.OPT" has a different value at byte 00000010xd compared to a new option file created using default settings.
// Value for "DEFAULT.OPT" is 4c.
// Value for a saved Option set is 00.
// Disabling the MUSIC changes 00000090xc from 14 to 1c, and 000000b0x6 from fe to ff.
// Enabling ARTILLERY mode changes 00000090xc from 14 to 54, 000000b0x6 from ff to fe.

Possibly verification? Need to text further.
