Message:

Removed unused '4' entry from Strings.asm and recompressed. Added 8x multiplier value for serial drives. Wrapped some preprocessor symbol references so that 'make xt_unused' analysis continues to work.

 ; Tables for StringsCompress.pl
+;
+; Items can be added and removed from this table as needed, with the following rules:
+;  * Formats follow the special characters.  But other than that, order makes no difference.
+;  * Some of the formats require "even" and "odd" numbering.  Even tells the code that
+;    it is a "number-" format, otherwise it doesn't interpret a number first.  The easiest
+;    way to maintain this is to move one of the "n/a" items to/from the front of the format
+;    list to maintain the even/odd.
+;  * Values do not need to remain consistent across versions.  This table is only used
+;    internally to this file.
+;  * There can only be 32 of these (0-31).
+;  * Keeping the list short is good - this translates to a table in the compressed version.
+;    An error will be reported if a character or format is no longer being used by any 
+;    strings above.
+;  * Please keep items sequential for ease of further editing.
