Tried to build it but it references a `cmake/GenerateMenuHelpHeader.cmake` that seems to be absent from the repository?

Impressive work. Translating 16-bit segmented memory to x64 without emulation is no small feat. The test suite covering UI workflows is a nice touch.

>This project is a fully working native Windows x64 port of Microsoft Word for Windows 1.1a, whose historical codename was Opus.

Not to be confused with the Anthropic LLM model Opus - what was once an old codename is as good as new once again!
