In addition, I have 2 nawk (or gawk, might work under some awk's)
scripts that a player can use to check for errors such as too few args
to commands. The one for Blind games is the one that I run player's
orders through, the std galaxy one is the one I use as a player [it
misses some errors though, I believe].

While they don't catch all errors, they appear to catch 30-40% of
them.
