Please do not reproduce for profit without my permission.  Doubt it'll 
get you much anyway.  Original texts copyright 1987 Broderbund--this is 
simply a rearrangement of them.  I just found many of the hints to be 
interesting and hardly obvious ones in a very tough game, so I decided 
to note them down.  Quite simply, I feel this game is miles ahead of the 
watered-down "modern pop" questions of certain game shows and is a 
valuable antique as computer games go.  The clues provided in fact make 
this game a legitimate and useful and challenging puzzle.

How to use this script:  Say you are given a clue and don't know which 
state to go to.  This document is the ultimate lazy man's guide and it's 
even easier than the internet.  If you have it open in WordPad, simply 
search for the a part of the clue text.  The state it is under is where 
you should go next.  Alternatively you can print the document out, see 
where you can travel, check which city corresponds with which state, and 
search by hand for the clue.  Each state data also contains the 
information you may get on arriving in the state.  There are multiple 
descriptions for each state.

I'm aware there are some spacing errors in this document, the result of 
extracting directly from the disk.  This will be fixed in short order 
when I get a chance to proof-read.
