Everybody knows that Generals form "ReleaseCrashInfo.txt" file with information about last error. And also World Builder can find some errors. But they don't find all errors. In particular, they don't tell you about missing strings, missing sounds, missing particle effects. Missing starting units as well as missing upgrades will cause game to crash. Links to missing objects in OCLs are not displayed anywhere. And so on. There are many errors which can not be detected by WB and engine. This is why I decided to make a tool which finds errors in ini code automaticly.

This tool analyses ini code and displays you information about the following:

1) Redefined things (the ones which had been defined in code 2 or more times)
2) Missing links (links to objects, OCLs, FX lists and other stuff which does not exist)
3) Unused things (Yes, ini code has tonns of trash. But be careful with it. Some of these things can be used in scripts or maps).

Additionly, it gives you information about:

1) A number of upgrades in code and informs you how many of them can be added.
2) Not used Damage Types, Death Types, Enums and Radius Cursors. You can use them later.

I made this tool to fix errors in Contra In the begining. But I have decided to make it public now.

Thanks for releasing. This should increase the pace on remix a little.
