	I have successfully compiled Conquest (first try!) but there
	are a lot of problems with it.  First of all, sometimes you
	have to press [LINE FEED] instead of [RETURN] to enter a
	line of text or a choice.  But then, since Line-Feeds just
	jump to the next line, the screen display gets screwed up.
	I changed all testings for '\n' after getch() to '\r' and
	it did eliminate some of the problems, but not all.  At a lot
	of places you still need to press [LINE FEED].  Seems to me
	that you should be able to press both and get the same results...

	Also, [DELETE] is not interchangable with ^H.  I was using a Sun,
	and have to press [BACKSPACE] instead of [DELETE].  If I press
	[DELETE], unpredictable things happened.

	Conquest seems to hang all the time, mostly at random places.
	I can't do anything, except go to another terminal and kill
	my login.  At some places, it says 'Press [RETURN] to continue',
	but it continues without waiting for a key-stroke.  This happens
	a lot on the 'c' command.  I can't do anything.

	A lot of commands are not documentated, like 'a', 'f' etc. etc.
	I have no idea how to use those.  Also, the documentation is
	more of a story-history-background type than actually how to
	play the darn game.  A lot of players send me mail asking, 'Yeah,
	I got in, but what do I do next?'

	Just a *VERY SMALL PORTION* of all the problems!
