                     The Story of Necros Cavern
---------------------------------------------------------------------

   While there are caves all over the world, one earned its name from
 a legend. This cave, known as Necros Cavern, was said to be a haven
 for necromancers and their undead minions. Inside these freakish
 beings hoarded their treasures and their greatest discovery: a
 magical elixir that would grant new life to anyone who drank it.
 
   Such a prize often draws attention, but many of the towns nearby
 believe the place to be cursed and the locals steer well clear of
 the cave's entrance. Unlike them, you've arrived to seek out fame
 and fortune within the mysterious cavern.
 
   Armed with only your trusty flashlight and a handful of spare
 batteries, you head inside the yawning cave to seek your fortune
 and your destiny...

                    Necros Cavern Changelog
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.1.4
	-Minor changes to some of the text.
	-Source code rearraigned to compile more cleanly.
	-Icon added for the Windows version

Version 1.1.3
	-CRT unit largely replaced with Video and Keyboard units, dramatically improving
		the game's interface. Some parts still required the CRT unit to function
		properly under Linux.

Version 1.1
	-Major overhaul of all of the game's code.
		Phase 1 in a multiphase update
		The goal of this phase was "separation of powers". No unit should
		perform work that another unit covers, nor should there be any
		unexpected side effects from using functions.
	
		Now that the code is much cleaner, it'll be easier to maintain
		and update from here on. Some of the code is still very much
		in need of cleaning up, but that will come later.
	-Multiple bugs fixed
	-Extended ASCII removed in favor of simpler and cleaner layouts
	-Instructions rewritten
	-Gems renamed Batteries
