Hum - sounds like you have the same problem as when I ported it to pallio
(CP/M 2.2 gasp :-) ) Screen 8 is blowing it away right (??). OK, what I did
was to implement an iterative version of fall that requires about 10K
of memory for a "fall stack" - and then I just loop round taking whatever
is on top. If this reaches Mr. Shipway (I've sent mail twice, but never had
a reply) is there any "validation suite" for wanderer - I'd like to test
this version to make sure that it does everything in the proper order. So
far I've been able to solve screens 1-5 (I'm working on 6) and my solutions
from home work on the standard implementation on lakart.

Comments anyone?

P.S. with Wanderer 2.2 I'm gonna have to rewrite my fall.c for these
newfangled balloon things. Oh well, it should be worth the effort.
