You're right, I'm wrong, I'm sorry....  
If I had thoroughly read "trek.doc" I would have seen the discription
of the "BOSS" mode.
That doesn't mean that I shouldn't run chk4bomb on the program,
and ask about suscpicious-looking code.
I just should thoroughly investigate it, and not be so hasty :-}
Sorry about the bandwidth....
