I asked LLM to recommend a language for this type of game and 'go' seemed to be 
at or near the top of the list.
Although I would have liked a language that would compile and run on DOS. (btw, 
do you happen to know of a rough
percentage of existing boards that run under DOS?) I felt that a BRE clone 
wouldn't need to the processing power that C provides. ;) You asked a good 
question though, Alan.
