[net.games] Cribbage program brain-damage with flushes...

Acutally, Berkeley 4.2 Cribbage *does* know about flushes, it just
seems to get the distinction between hand flushes and crib flushes
mixed-up.  (a hand flush can be four or five, whereas a crib flush
MUST be all five cards. The cribbage program has this exactly backward.)

Several of us here have looked at the code and can see no obvious
errors. Someone once posted something that correlated this bug with
certain terminal types (!). Does anyone know the fix to this rather
glaring flaw?

There are a couple of other mis-features in the cribbage game that
could also use some polishing; if anyone is interested in hacking
this, send me mail and I'll point out a few more problems.

(PS, I've been playing cribbage for 35+ years)
