   That is a great idea!!! Why didn't I think of it...? But it demands that
the command 'RUN' is in the 'c' directory, and it will be ssssllloooowwww.

   My version does not delete the files :) And you don't have to restart
when-ever you want to save (I myself hate those games, where you need to
sit stiff for 5 min. just to save), You still have to quit to load a saved
game, due to the many structures and data, that have to be deallocated and
reallocated (It's really not easy to have an overview)...But I'm working on
it...
