1.1     ! root        1:    Caveat Ludor (or something like that).
        !             2: 
        !             3:    The sample DDL dungeon in this directory cannot even remotely
        !             4: be considered a complete scenario.  At every turn, there are
        !             5: pointless areas of terrain, objects with no use, and verbs that
        !             6: don't work.  The scenario is intended primarily to demonstrate
        !             7: (originally to TEST) some of the things that can be done in DDL,

        !            12: is encouraged to examine the DDL sources for this scenario,
        !            13: and initially experiment with adding stunts and scenery to

        !            15: original world from scratch.  DDL's purpose is to allow
        !            16: people's ingenious ideas to be conveniently realized.  
        !            17: New scenarios, or additions to this sample, should be sent
        !            18: electronically to ucbvax!trwrb!trwspp!urban (as of Jan 1986)
