	It's not copyrighted, but since it's an internal of the TLSC
program, its format is (a) undocumented, (b) subject to change, and (c)
proprietary.

	To look up a trap quickly, have your tables keyed by
trap word, and presorted in ascending order. Then you can use a binary
search which compares trap words, instead of trap names.

	The MPW 3.0 interfaces (which, I believe, are separately
available thru APDA) contain the definitive trap list.
