TRIANGULAR μOS 1.40 goals overview:
1. Introducing new look with "Brazil" theme.
2. Separate all 4 games, WORDS and SYNTH from GUI (main program) codebase into modules/programs for:
    A. Faster execution of separate programs (around 3 times more).
    B. Easier development of separate programs. It will introduce "local variables", thus avoiding variables conflict.
    C. Easier building and debugging of separate programs (no need for building whole GUI and System Disk on development stage).
    D. All above also affects GUI main codebase + leaves more space for further features.
3. Introduction of system resources files to held system assets (mostly graphics like sprites) on them. That further decreased size of codebase and speeds up loading of those assets in comparison of READ & DATA method. And assets in files are making possible to have many interchangeable customized assets.
4. New racing game GP BRAZIL is added in place of TRASURE CHAMBER.
5. BASICALLY API Jump Table is removed from main GUI saved nearly 1 KB from code.
Only TEMPLATE program has BASICALLY Jump Table and it can could be copied at end of GUI .bas file if needed.
