Some bugs and problems and been found in the 551 point Adventure
(in Fortran) I posted. I'll report them here. There are no patches:
some are not serious and I'm not about to try to ferret them out,
and one is easily described in words. 

OFFICIAL PROBLEM FIX:

The variable KALFLG is local to the travl sububroutine in asubs.for.
IT needs to have a statement "SAVE KALFLG" installed up in the
declarations part of that routine. This of course effects only those
rare compilers that don't automatically save everything.

Other things:

Don't throw the cloak to the troll. That uncovers bugs.

There are some bugs in the liquid code. This code is a mess and I'm
not about to try to fix it. Just don't put liquids in un-obvious
containers. Don't drink oil.
