	Sad, but true.

	Archon ran fine on my Amiga 1000 under 1.2.  As soon as I added 
expansion memory (Fast RAM), it would not run anymore.

	The "fixarchon" program on abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov (the replacement
machine for xanth.cs.odu.edu; 128.155.23.64) allows Archon to run fine on
my A1000 under KS 1.3, with expansion memory.
