the map_edit source on the book's cd included a prebuilt version of
the old watcom version of ack3d (with headers) which defined UINT to be
'unsigned short' while our version of ack3d defines UINT to be
'unsigned int'
the map_edit sources from the cd seemed to include two different
versions of a map editor. the sources i've left here seem to most
closely match the version of mapedit.exe included on the book's cd
