        !            16: .I Sail
        !            17: is a computer version of Avalon Hill's game of fighting sail
        !            18: originally developed by S. Craig Taylor.
        !            19: .SH NOTES
        !            20: .I Sail
        !            21: is really two programs in one.  Each player keeps track of his
        !            22: own ship plus a
        !            23: .I DRIVER
        !            24: program is execl'd (by the first player) to keep track of the
        !            25: computer's ships.
        !            26: .PP
        !            27: The player is given the first available ship in a scenario and the
        !            28: computer takes the rest.  Obviously the more ships in your game, the
        !            29: longer the

        !            32: will be given ships and the

        !            34: will have less work to do.  
        !            35: .SH HISTORICAL INFO
        !            36: Old Square Rigger's were very maneuverable ships capable of intricate
        !            37: sailing. Their one main disadvantage was being unable to sail very
        !            38: close to the wind. The design of wooden ship allowed only for the
        !            39: guns to bear to the left and right sides.  A few guns of small
        !            40: aspect (usually 6 or 9 pounders) could point forward, but their
        !            41: effect would be small compared to a 68 gun broadside of 24 pounders.
        !            42: The guns bear approximately like so:

        !            57: An interesting phenomenon occurred when a broadside could fire
        !            58: down the length of an enemy ship.  The shot tended to bounce along
        !            59: the deck and did several times more damage. This phenomenon was called
        !            60: a rake. It happened that a stern rake (firing from the stern to the
        !            61: bow) occasioned more damage than a bow rake, so that was the most
        !            62: desirable.

        !            77: Most ships were equipped with Carronades which were very large, close
        !            78: range cannons.  The carronades have a range of two in this game and can
        !            79: considerably add to your fire-power when they come to bear.
        !            80: If the distance to the target ship is greater than 6, the guns
        !            81: can only fire at the rigging.
        !            82: A ship's guns could fire a variety of ammunition.  For example:
        !            83: .SH ROUND
        !            84: Range of 10.  Good for hull or rigging hits.
        !            85: .SH DOUBLE
        !            86: Range of 1.  Extra good for hull or rigging hits.
        !            87: Double takes two turns to load.
        !            88: .SH CHAIN
        !            89: Range of 3.  Excellent for tearing down rigging.
        !            90: Cannot damage hull or guns, though.
        !            91: .SH GRAPE
        !            92: Range of 1.  Devastating against enemy crews.
        !            93: .PP
        !            94: When a ship has been battered into a hulk (zero hull), it has no 
        !            95: choice but to surrender to the firing ship.  This ceremony is called
        !            96: \'striking your colours.\'  A struck ship has a chance of exploding or
        !            97: sinking after a while.  When a ship surrenders, its point value is
        !            98: given to the aggressor. When a ship is captured, twice the point
        !            99: value is awarded the victor.
        !           100: .PP
        !           101: Normally, ships sailed into battle with greatly shortened sail to
        !           102: avoid excessive damage to the precious rigging.  However, in this game
        !           103: the player can increase to full sails and move much faster if he wishes.
        !           104: But, all rigging hits incurred with full sails set are doubled.
        !           105: The direction rose displayed on the sample screen gives the maximum
        !           106: speeds possible for a specific ship at all attitudes to the wind.
        !           107: The full sail speeds are in parenthesis.

        !           109: Repairs can be made at the slow rate of two (hull, gun, or rigging)
        !           110: hits restored per three turns.

        !           114: every other turn.

        !           118: optional rules for 'exploding ships', 'full sails', and some others.
        !           119: A few unique commands have been added which seemed to be helpful on
