I just found out that quiz on our Suns (SunOs 4.0) will accept the Hague as the capital of the Netherlands. From /usr/games/lib/quiz.k/europe : Netherlands|Holland:The Hague|'sGravenhage|den Haag|Amsterdam Fix: Change this line to: Netherlands|Holland:Amsterdam I'd really like to know if this bug has been around for all those years. I sure hope that the U.S. government in New York knows better !

It was worse in Version 6, in that time Amsterdam was *not* accepted. (The only extensive work on quiz was done on the transition from Version 6 to Version 7 and the transition to System III. Especially the latter corrected many bugs; but not this one.) -- Game Keeper Mail: play@cwi.nl
