Teltnuag will work under 3.2, *BUT* you need to have the program and all its
files at the top level of some disk.  As it says in the documentation,
Teltnuag will not run from inside a folder.  Pretty brain-damaged, but
"there it is".

I finally moved everything to a floppy and run it there.  Good thing I have
2 floppy drives, 'cause I need the other one to boot 3.2.

I have not yet been able to get it to run under 4.anything.  Turning off
the RAM cache doesn't help.  I haven't tried page_2_saver yet.

HINTS ON PLAYING THE GAME:
(1) Move quickly.
(2) Destroy generators first, pick up goodies next, and you don't need to kill
    absolutely everything (just leave).
(3) The levels are the same each time.  Memorize them.
(4) Don't be afraid to use lanterns.  It's better than dying.  On the other
    hand don't waste them going over territory you've already explored.
