Alpha (beta??) testers are wanted for my recent efforts on the 551 
point adventure game. I am looking for folks with different computers
than I have. I have tried this port on a VAX/VMS, a MIPS 120 (MIPS Unix),
and an IBM-PC running the MicroWay Fortran compiler. I am particularly
looking for folks with 680x0 boxes and Sun SPARC machines.

If you have such a machine and would like to help, please send
me e-mail with a description of you machine. Even odder machines are
also welcome.

The code is now mostly Fortran 77, but written in a really disgusting
Fortran 66 style. It uses, as extensions, integer functions
IOR, IAND, and IEOR, has a few INTEGER*4 declarations left in it
(to help if somebody wants to do a 16 bit back-port --- on a
32 bit machine these can be changed to plain INTEGER), and, as
a performance enhancement, reads characters 4 at a time into
INTEGER*4 variables for the big text array (a Fortran 66 holdover).
All Holleriths have been purged (I hope).
