CRT Character Program for Top Secret
Several months ago, I wrote a program for hp2621? terminals
to create and update characters for Top Secret.  I recently
(with a little help from my friends (sorry)) converted it to
use curses.  With a file for an argument, if the file does not
yet exist, it will create a character (prompting you for a
name and code number), giving all bonuses for primary traits
and then figuring out secondary and tertiary traits, and store
it in that file.  If you give it that file again, it will print
out the data (with name and code) and then prompt you for any change
to the primary traits (e.g. If you had enough experience points to
add 7 to Physical Strength, you would respond `7 <RETURN>' to
the `?' in the CHANGE column next to that trait; hitting return
leaves the trait unaltered), then go on and update anything below
that trait that would be changed.  I would be glad to give the source
out; if anyone wants it, just mail me.
