I see your response on Google, but I don't have a copy.  So, I get to screw up threading
some, too!

Turns out I'm not a complete idiot.  Your patch and mine were identical.  The problem
(for anyone else reading along at the moment) was that I'm on a Windows machine and
PDST's files need UNIX-like end-of-line markers (i.e., just the LF, rather than the
LF/CR pair).  Otherwise, it can't read anything past the first line, which obviously
makes for a bad system image.

I had to convert your game, too.  Or, rather, re-convert it, since I converted it to
read through it...

But, yes.  For an hour's worth of work, I'd say that's pretty impressive progress.  Now,
we just need a parser.  I'm working on it...
