Hi folks.

But, for those of you going nuts, wondering why you can't beat the game?
 Its not you.  Its the game.  The version that went out has a bug that
puts the game in an unwinnable state.

If you are at all interested in winning the game, recompile the source
included. I had fixed that bug. In fact, it was the last bug I fixed
before the deadline.

If you are not interested in actually winning, read the source code to
find out what happens.

Either way, I apologize. I rushed, I was careless, and now I fully
expect to pay the price. On the bright side, this does give me a hell of
an incentive for next years comp *grin*
