Thanks to further playtesting, a number of additional problems were found
in V3.2 of Dungeon.  Rather than wait the usual one to ten years before
releasing a new version, I'm posting a set of source patches to correct
the problems that have been found.

Sources changes for V3.2B of Dungeon after release

1. DPARAM.FOR.  Change buzzword maximum from 10 to 12, add definition of
  Alice Room Leak object, delete FILLW definition

>>      PARAMETER (BWMAX=12)                    ! buzzword vocabulary

  (insert in object definitions)

>>      PARAMETER (PLEAK=191)                   ! Alice room leak

  (delete the following)

>>      PARAMETER (FILLW=134)                   ! fill

2. DUNGEON.F.  Change edit number from A to B

>>      DATA VMAJ/3/,VMIN/2/,VEDIT/'B'/

3. PARSER.F.  Add "am" and "are" to buzzword list

>>      DATA BWORD/'BY','IS','A','AN','THE','AM','ARE',
       1       'TODAY','MY','YOUR','OUR','HIS'/

4. PARSER.F.  Fix encoding of PUMP UP verb

       DATA (VVOC(I),I=451,654) /
       1 7,'60212'O,'21000'O,0,'200'O,'44002'O,0,'1000'O,
       1 25,'42223'O,'41000'O,'400'O,0,
       1       '60223'O,'41000'O,'400'O,0,'61005'O,-1,-1,
       1       '60223'O,'41000'O,'400'O,0,'61016'O,-1,-1,
       1       '60240'O,'41000'O,'400'O,0,'61012'O,-1,-1,
>>      1 4,'40232'O,'60007'O,-1,-1,


5. VERBS.F.  VALUAC missing declaration of NOHERE as LOGICAL

>>      LOGICAL LIT,F,F1,TAKE,PUT,DROP,NOTHIS,NOHERE,QHERE,QBUNCH

6. VERBS.F.  Boats respond to INFLATE x WITH BOAT.  INFLATE should check
  that indirect object is a tool

>>2000  IF((OFLAG1(PRSI).AND.TOOLBT).NE.0) GO TO 2100   ! tool?
>>      CALL RSPSUB(301,ODI2)                           ! no, joke.
>>      RETURN
C
>>2100  IF(.NOT.OBJACT(X)) CALL RSPEAK(368)     ! obj handle?
       RETURN

7. VERBS.F.  FILL x WITH y should be treated as PUT y IN x, all cases;
  otherwise, PUT PUTTY IN TUBE fails, but FILL TUBE WITH PUTTY works

>>34025 PRSI=GWATE                              ! use global water.
>>34050 PRSA=PUTW
       I=PRSO                                  ! fill x with y becomes
       PRSO=PRSI                               ! put y in x
       PRSI=I
       VAPPLI=PUT(.TRUE.)
       RETURN

8. OBJECTS.F.  Delete WATER object code for FILL, now handled by verb

5000    IF(PRSA.NE.GTHROW) GO TO 5025           ! go through?
       CALL RSPEAK(331+RND(3))                 ! joke.
       RETURN
C
>>5025  IF((PRSO.EQ.WATER).OR.(PRSO.EQ.GWATE)) GO TO 5100
       CALL RSPEAK(561)                        ! water is ind obj,
       RETURN                                  ! punt.

9. OBJECTS.F.  KILL/DESTROY x WITH ME kills me, should not be handled by
  player object

>>55200 IF(((PRSA.NE.KILLW).AND.(PRSA.NE.MUNGW))
>>      1       .OR.(PRSO.NE.OPLAY)) GO TO 10

10. OBJECTS.F.  OPEN x with BLACK BOOK gives joke open black book open,
  should not be handled by book object

>>18000 IF((PRSA.NE.OPENW).OR.(PRSO.NE.BOOK)) GO TO 18100       ! open book?

11. OBJECTS.F.  PLUG x WITH LEAK works, should not be handled by Alice room
  leak object (dam leak is correct)

>>35100 IF((PRSA.NE.PLUGW).OR.(PRSO.NE.PLEAK)) GO TO 10 ! plug leak?
