I'm up to level 10 of wanderer already.  No tricks, no hacking just
perseverence, courage and skill is all I needed.  [Sounds of ones own
trumpet being blown, flowers thrown, maidens swoon etc.  You know, all
that stereotyped macho, hero returns from slaying the baddie sorta shit.]

What I'm saying is that you don't need to hack the code to get the game
playable.  Just spend a little more time thinking about what you're doing.

Also, if you're going to do any patches, make 'em official and give every-
one a copy.

Andrew.
