But ... it is nothing hard to hack out really. Far less work than what ConstB did ... just takes some skill with 16 bit debugger and 16 bit machine code. Both are simple.

Publishing such information gives possibility to anyone hack the turns (even to rather unskilled people whose attempts will usually cause just AH hangs and/or spoiled games on better cases) nothing good without countermeasures.

Knowledge is accessible for people who want to work on countermeasures. Nod Say there are coders with a skill and time to invest into the tool that Wumpus was planning to make? Can contact Wumpus or LEit, (to join the http://sourceforge.net/projects/stars-util/)
and to write the thing?

With any details Ron, Wumpus, LEit, me, Captain Maim or ConstB can also help then? I am unsure how others are but i am certainly willing to help, just that in a bad hole with time to write some real thing now. Confused Tool itself is good idea ... but making such thing takes quite a work with pile of undocumented structures in a file. What it does not take is publishing the algorithms on some web site.
