That's good.  This is the way Leisure Suit Larry III does it.  The
"native guide book" contains key information that you need throughout
the program, like the phone number to call for reservations and things
like that.  Even the hint books say "Use the phone number in the add
for XYZ restaurant."    A non-computer oriented friend didn't even
realize that the book served as a copy-protection scheme.  -- Darren
