	I'm really not sure what your problem is, since I have had the program
up and running all the time for about 1-1/2 years. Perhaps the uuencoded file
got corrupted during transfer. But to make sure, you should try the following:
	1) Make SURE (did you notice the caps?) that the stack is AT LEAST
		40-50k. Empire uses quite a bit of reentrant code, and will
		gobble up stack like candy.
	2) Make sure you don't have any funny ANSI escape sequences in your
		text files. This has been known to cause problems.
	3) Make sure there are no half-completed news files lying around
		the EmpMisc: directory. Try deleting empmisc:news.#?
	4) Check if there are too many files in the same directory. You
		really shouldn't keep the help files with the rest of the
		runtime files.

	If you still have problems, please send a message to me via email.
I want to find out why the version posted to the Net has problems, while
the version I have posted to BBS's has not.....
