It uudecoded fine here, but I've noticed two problems with it so
far...first, it hangs quite often on me (both when I use if from the
desk top and when I run it from gulam). I haven't made it out of the
bartering stages yet (it always hangs when I am moving between the
first screens buildings). No bombs, just nothing happening (except
hearing the keyclicks) as I press keys. The other problem is just one
of implementation. The command line options are lower case only, so
you really can't run moria as a '.ttp' file. The reason being that the
desktop uppercases all your text that you type. The workaround for
this is to simply write a little wrapper program that pexec's the
moria code with the appropriate command tail. This wrapper can also
set the SHELL variable at the the same time.
