                               Concept : Config

 By setting up an `emp.config' file in the game's database directory, the per-
son  hosting  the  game can establish playing date and hour restrictions, plus
redefine several important game parameters.

The `emp.config' file contains lines of simple  ascii  text,  with  each  line
defining one parameter.  The syntax is simple, but must be adhered to:

          #comment
          keyword: value
          keyword: value

Comment lines begin with a pound symbol (#); blank lines and lines  containing
only  comments are ignored.  All value definition lines should start in column
1 and contain first the keyword, followed immediately by a colon (:), followed
by  any  amount of whitespace (blanks or tabs), followed by a value.  If a '#'
appears anywhere in the line, it and everything that follows will  be  treated
as  a comment and ignored.  Depending on the keyword, the value portion of the
line can be one of several forms.  Complete descriptions  of  each  individual

keyword can be found in the sample `emp.config' file.
