Hello all.  First off, i'd appreciate it if someone would inform me
whether or not my abundance of messages are getting annoying.  They
haven't been answered, though it may be 'cause i run every sentance
together in all lower case, so I won't do that anymore.
	Anyways, I was wondering if someone could help me with another program
that I've been trying to write.  I guess a lot of you are too busy to
help, but it would be nice if those who aren't would help me a little. 
Thanks anyways.
	Well, the program is called "tie-die".  I basically thought that if I
didn't win, it would be best to tie (duh...), so I incorpreted that
philosiphy in my latest failure.  I don't know what's wrong, except that
I'm sure it's too slow.
	Basically, it MOV's a little line called "hide", that is just a JMP 0. 
It then splits off into two bombers, a DAT bomber, and a JMP bomber. 
The JMP is something like JMP 101,<1.  The b-field is just to screw the
enemy up as much as possible.  I have 101 'cause the maximum length is
usually 100 (right?) so it will probably JMP into the core, and onto a
DAT.  If not, my redundant little bomber throws DAT's where the JMP's
point to, just to make sure.  I'm not sure of the syntax at that point.
	If the bombers die, then hopefully the hide command will survive, and
possibly an un-executed JMP or decremented command will destroy the
enemy warrior.  Also, the hide decrements an address, hopefully on an
enemy.  If not, the hide may survive, thus resulting in a tie.
	Well, thanks to whoever may respond to this message.  Bye.
