A couple days ago I started the rewrite for Tyrant, my first game.  The
code was real messy and bug ridden, so starting over seemed like the best
thing to do.  But on to the real news, when it is complete there will onlt
be versions for Rigel and Zshell.
WHY?
Because if I simply ported to Usgard by inserting &s the compiled string
would explode it size.  There are several calls to 32-bit math routines
and space saving routines.  Since I would basically be fixing this problem
the same way for Usgard as Zshell, I decided, why waste the time.
btw the fix would be relocating the subroutines to graph_mem 

Aside from that it's coming along.  Expect to see a demo (just for 1p
mode) soon. 

Hey what do you know, a message about programming for the 85 on the Asm-85
list, how unique.
