[comp.sources.games.bugs] Request for 'wanderer' spoiler.

  It seems clear that people are not having problems until much later on
  but I can't figure out how to get the baby monsters on level 10 to go to
  the cages.  The first two babies are simple and I can get either the
  baby in the top center to go to the cage in the center of the screen or
  one of the two babies in the lower right to go into the center cage but
  I am boggled as to how to get the two remaining babies into the other
  two cages.  Garf!

  If it is gauche to publish the spoiler here, please mail me your hints,
  suggestions and solutions.  Much thanks in advance.

p.s.  Isn't this a strange place to be 'discussing' things like this?
  Shouldn't there be a group like '...games.wanderer' or something?

p.p.s.	I would like to express my appreciation and thanks for this game,
  Mr. Shipway.  I have found it to be a great stress reliever.

Yeah, rec.games.misc is the appropriate place to send things like this.
(Followups are directed there.)

It requires a lot of rock-juggling.

Hint 1:  The baby in the top center should be left alone.  

Hint 2:  Consider the situation with the baby in the top left.  It soon
gets into an impossible situation, doesn't it?  What happens if you
stop it before it gets into trouble?

Hint 3:  Consider the situation at the bottom sort-of-center of the screen.
You are never going to get those diamonds if you don't trap a baby there.
Where is the only baby that you can ever hope to have trapped there?

Hope this helps.
