The Barons editor can be accessed only by the Barons whose BBS name matches
one of the BSYSOP_NAMEs in the configuration file (if it is not present, no
one is allowed to use the editor).  You will know that you have "Sysop"
privileges for Barons since the "Home Castle" menu will have the word
"SYSOP" next to it and there will be an additional menu choice for entering
the editor.


USING THE EDITOR

There isn't much for me to explain here, so I won't (oh yeah -- the PAGE-UP
and PAGE-DOWN keys will go from one town/baron to another [previous/next]).


HOW CAN I END THE GAME (OR EXTEND IT)?

Well, the menu option to "Alter countdown..." can be used to set the countdown
timer to a specific number of days before the game will end. Normally, this
won't be in effect until all of the towns have been taken over by the players,
after which it comes on automatically (even if you turned it off the day
before -- yes, to extend the life of the game once all the towns are taken,
just set the countdown timer to 1-99 days).


CONCLUSION

If you find any bugs or have a suggestion for an improvement, I can be reached
at (408) 974-9678 during the day.  You can also try to contact me
electronically through:

Portal: richw@cup.portal.com
Mycroft BBS: Richard Wilkes
Internet: richw@apple.com

or you can send me mail at:

R.A.W. Software
P.O. Box 51744
San Jose, CA  95151-5744

Please do NOT send requests for Barons to this address.  I have no way to make
IBM disks for the distribution of Barons (I do everything on a Macintosh).
The way to obtain the latest version of Barons is to call the Mycroft BBS at
(408) 927-0105 and download it.

Evidence supporting quantum information processing in animals

              Evidence supporting quantum            information processing in animals                    James A. Donald                    1068 Fulton Av                    Sunnyvale, CA 94089-1505                    USA I show that quantum systems can rapidly solve some problems for which finite state machines require a non- polynomially large time. This class of problems is closely related to the class of problems that animals can solve rapidly and effortlessly, but are intractable for computers by all known algorithms. 1. Introduction      Animals, including very simple animals, can rapidly and effortlessly perceive objects, whereas computers take nonpolynomial time to do this by all...

ARMIES OF CHAOS

                          ARMIES OF CHAOS -      Before anyone proposes more gun control, he or she should know  about a simple, deadly weapon 4 times as powerful as Dirty Harry's  legendary .44 Magnum -- and at least twice as concealable -- that  _can't_ controlled.        This simple, deadly weapon can be made by anyone -- even a  child -- with unpowered hand tools in an hour's time using $5 worth  of materials, most of which are available around the house anyway.   In traditional form it's reusable an unlimited number of times, and  modern plastics have rendered its disposable version electronically  undetectable.  You can clear a room with such a weapon (more of a  hand-held directional grenade than a gun -- sort of a recycleable  Claymore mine) and it's just one of hundreds of similar time-proven  designs. ...
