+       Joe Wells's patch to enable different-sized worlds.  Minor fixes to
+       map functions by Andrew Morrow. More on the history of the game.
+       Enable arrow keys in edit mode.
+       License changed from Chuck Simmons's cosmetically tweaked clone
+       of the GPL to GPL proper, so the classifier systems that forge
+       and archive sites use will be less confused.

        Packaging tweaks.  RPM spec fixes.  READ.ME broken up into
        READ.ME and NEWS.  Obsolete bug notes removed.  Option -f to
        set savefile added.  I'd like to move the documentation to XML, 
        but can't yet because db2man doesn't render tables.

        The victory-odds table in previous versions was seriously buggy.
        I folded in corrections from Michael Self.  I also took changes
        from James T. Jordan <kermyt@earthling.net>, who wrote some
        speedups, added ANSI prototypes, and cleaned up code.

        I colorized and speed-tuned this and added a
        save-interval option.
