This is getting rediculous.  What is it doing in a *sources* newsgroup?

In anycase, here at Reed we have this thing we call the game shell.
You make a dir called .hide of some such silly name, then put
everything in that dir.  Next, link all the executable files to that
shell, which when executed looks in .hide to fork and exec that
process.  I'll investigate to see if it's worth/possible to post
*sources* for it.
