Tess (Beyond the Tesseract) dumps core when it asked for a probability,
and there's no decimal point in your answer (which means you're either
an optimist, a pessimist, or you don't know anything about
probabilistics :-).

The following patch fixes it (I tried not to look at the source, so
no warrants made):

#! /bin/sh
# This is a shell archive.  Remove anything before this line, then unpack
# it by saving it into a file and typing "sh file".  To overwrite existing
# files, type "sh file -c".  You can also feed this as standard input via
# unshar, or by typing "sh <file", e.g..  If this archive is complete, you
# will see the following message at the end:
#		"End of shell archive."
# Contents:  tess.patch

if test -f 'tess.patch' -a "${1}" != "-c" ; then 
  echo shar: Will not clobber existing file \"'tess.patch'\"
else
echo shar: Extracting \"'tess.patch'\" \(555 characters\)
sed "s/^X//" >'tess.patch' <<'END_OF_FILE'
