6. Changed "One-up" object to a heart for clarity.

    "Land O' Insanity" has a soundtrack but the default game does not.
    I included HORM.HRM and LOINS.HRM for use with the level editor.

    Please, if you know of any catchy public domain MIDI music files, let me
    know.  If anyone has the ability and the desire to create some short
    soundtrack files, let me know.  Maybe we can make a deal.  Thanks!

    would not be reset if you changed levels while play was
