[net.games.emp] Empire Therapy

jay@hp-pcd.UUCP (jay) (08/08/85)

	Due to the number of requests I have decided to post the
	source I have for the empire 'therapy' program I picked up
	from the net some time ago.

	Enjoy,

/*
Being a Deity at this site, and having to deal with Shizophrenia
caused in several different ways, and not having the source
(GRUMBLE,GRUMBLE) so I can't fix the problems, I wrote a program
to fix the nation file from the shizophrenia problem.  The
player with the personality problem must run this program
himself.  Interestingly, this program does not seem to mung
the data file if that player is REALLY playing on another
terminal.  I also found that the "read" and "info" commands
did not work properly on BSD 4.2, so I rewrote them (contact
me for details on the last two.)

Anyway,  here it is, the program I call "therapy".
