i'm working on it right now.  i hope you like what i have.

i'm also doing some small things.  like i noticed that your mkdir
returns no information about success or not.  i changed it to return
success or failure, and wrote something to catch errors.

after 11 years of undergrad and grad school, i feel competant enough to
say that college is over-rated.   i'll prolly be really bitter until i
get phracking phd.  if i had known that grad school was so long and
tough, i'm not sure i would've gone...

this is beyond my ability right now.  i just started looking at your
code.  it *looks* like it restores a game with the player "dead".

i also started taking some notes about the code.  maybe it could be the
start of a README.hacking or something.

also, would anyone besides me find it be useful to hack the makefile to
generate a ctags file?  i can't live without ctags...
