I considered this, too.  I'm not quite sure.  Rod's code uses integer math.

I will; hopefully I do something on it instead of just thinking about it.
Fortunately, I think that I have my instruction set and I will be ready to
start coding soon.  Just need to do it . . .

I started porting Rogue from C to Euphoria, but I couldn't/wouldn't sort out
all of the file/function dependencies.  But I learned a lot.  If I start on
that project again, I think that I will just try to analyze the general
structure and try to recreate it on my own instead of just translating.
