Man, it's been a *long* time since I've played this game!  I've won
it, too, but I can't say it was *entirely* without cheating.  Of
course, if you consider taking advantage of a built-in bug cheating...

If you want to know the "cheat" I used, E-mail me.  I don't want to
post potential spoilers for those who would rather not know.
