For general info: Core War is a computer game wherein two programs sharing the same memory area attempt to corrupt each other. Strategies range from the simple (write 0's every few bytes throughout memory, trying to hit the other program) to the complex (self-copying programs which check themselves for damage). -- Rsk the Wombat UUCP: { allegra, decvax, ihnp4, harpo, teklabs, ucbvax } !pur-ee!rsk { cornell, eagle, hplabs, ittvax, lanl-a, ncrday } !purdue!rsk
