	Okay, maybe not everyone thinks it is hacking, bu I've gotta
post this anyway.

	Just got through coding up a chess game controller.  Generally
it accepts a move, and lets you make it if it is legal, or else tells
you it sn't and goes on.  The fun part was that I implemented it in
MUSH... For those of you who are above calling these things, that
means you have in each object, 26 slots that are for code, or for
data, or both if you are adventurous.  I used a little over twenty
objects, each one filled to the brim with the most complicated code I
have seen.  Multiprocessing, Subroutines (something not built in),
complex data abstraction.

	Ick.  Maybe I'll go write in some structured language, like
BASIC :-)
