 This version of the patch has been written completely from scratch,
 the old versions didn't show the title pictures (this was the reason I
 looked at the patch) and used the OSEmu binary which has long been obsolete.
 I have emulated all the OS routines (game used DoIO for loading/saving)
 and added support for the level editor, levels can be loaded and saved too.
 Level data is stored in file "ThePower.levs". 
 As usual, a few trainer options have been added too, highscores will not
 be saved if these are used.
 The game had a few access faults in the random generator routine, these
 have been fixed too.

 The latest version of the source for this patch can be found on
 my Github: https://github.com/MK1Roxxor/WHDLoad_Patches/blob/master/Games/ThePower_WHD.s

 Enjoy the game from HD.
