The File Format

The file lists a number of Word/String pairs, just like an rTaggedStrings
resource:

count        (+000) Word     Number of word/string pairs.
firstWord    (+002) Word     Word value of first pair.
firstString  (+004) String   Pascal string of first pair.
secondWord   (+xxx) Word     Word value of second pair.
secondString (+yyy) String   Pascal string of second pair.
...          ...    ...      ...

The word in each pair is either a SysBeep2 code ($0000..$3FFF) or $FFFE (for
System Beep).  The string in each pair is the resource name of an
rSoundSample resource present in any file in the *:System:Sounds folder.

There are two special strings:  "*" means Standard Beep, and "0" (zero) means
Silence.

The order of the pairs is not important, but no two pairs can have the same
word value.
