+dmm_suite
+	/*
+
+		dmm_suite version 1.0
+			Released January 30th, 2011.
+
+		defines the object /dmm_suite
+			- Provides the proc load_map()
+				- Loads the specified map file onto the specified z-level.
+			- provides the proc write_map()
+				- Returns a text string of the map in dmm format
+					ready for output to a file.
+			- provides the proc save_map()
+				- Returns a .dmm file if map is saved
+				- Returns FALSE if map fails to save
+
+		The dmm_suite provides saving and loading of map files in BYOND's native DMM map
+		format. It approximates the map saving and loading processes of the Dream Maker
+		and Dream Seeker programs so as to allow editing, saving, and loading of maps at
+		runtime.
+
+		------------------------
+
+		To save a map at runtime, create an instance of /dmm_suite, and then call
+		write_map(), which accepts three arguments:
+			- A turf representing one corner of a three dimensional grid (Required).
+			- Another turf representing the other corner of the same grid (Required).
+			- Any, or a combination, of several bit flags (Optional, see documentation).
+
+		The order in which the turfs are supplied does not matter, the /dmm_writer will
+		determine the grid containing both, in much the same way as DM's block() function.
+		write_map() will then return a string representing the saved map in dmm format;
+		this string can then be saved to a file, or used for any other purose.
+
+		------------------------
+
+		To load a map at runtime, create an instance of /dmm_suite, and then call load_map(),
+		which accepts two arguments:
+			- A .dmm file to load (Required).
+			- A number representing the z-level on which to start loading the map (Optional).
+
+		The /dmm_suite will load the map file starting on the specified z-level. If no
+		z-level	was specified, world.maxz will be increased so as to fit the map. Note
+		that if you wish to load a map onto a z-level that already has objects on it,
+		you will have to handle the removal of those objects. Otherwise the new map will
+		simply load the new objects on top of the old ones.
+
+		Also note that all type paths specified in the .dmm file must exist in the world's
+		code, and that the /dmm_reader trusts that files to be loaded are in fact valid
+		.dmm files. Errors in the .dmm format will cause runtime errors.
