Dan has kindly let us archive his program here at SUMEX.  You can FTP
it from SUMEX (login: anonymous, pass: yourname) by getting one or more of the
following files:

<info-mac>hangman.sh	The C source.  (shellfile that dearchives itself).
<info-mac>hangman.dl	The executable resource file in fromhex download format.
<info-mac>hangman.rsrc	The 8 bit executable resource file;  this file
			only is in "tenex" or "type l 8" mode when you
			FTP it.  Download with "macput -r hangman".
<info-mac>hangman.words	Hangman's dictionary, about 138K bytes.

Dan prepared this dictionary by removing short words from /usr/lib/w2006,
but you may want to trim it further or use a completely different dictionary.
The words are separated by spaces or newlines;  "macput -u hangman.words"
works nicely to download the dictionary.  Rename the dictionary on the
Mac to be just "words".

Thanks again, Dan!
