A couple of points about the posting of "hangman". Hangman was
written by Ken Arnold of Berkeley (not ATT). Dan Winkler at Harvard
converted it for the Mac. In the converted program, Dan placed
Ken's name at the bottom of the screen, in blazing lights, for all to
see. Given the simple nature of the program, I didnt figure posting it
would offend anyone. I certainly would not have posted any substantial
program without checking into licensing issues.

Regarding the dictionary, it was severely hacked (many words deleted)
before posting, so that it is ONLY good for playing hangman.
