I have found filter although I can't seem to get it to work it looks like it
is capable of handling my inbound mail needs for handling moves. I will be
sending out the orriginal rules in the near future. Anyone who is still
interested in joining the game is still open although I am getting up into
the 30 manager range at the moment. Each manager will be allowed four
warriors to play in the game. I may increase this number later. Or decrease
it for that matter. The rules should go out today, and you can create your
warrior immediately. The first battle will be on the 24th or the 25th
depending on when I get the whole system together. The game system isn't
completely finished at the moment, but it should give people an idea of what
it is going to be like, and an avenue to make comments on how the game is
progressing. - bfn - JAW

Filter is a portion of elm. I believe I have inserted the proper commands to
separate the moves out from the rest of my mail, and save them in a folder,
but filter cannot find my filter file. I seem to be running filter version
2.0 with 2.3 docs, which will probably explain my problem nicely. I would
like the filter 2.0 docs mailed to me if anyone has them, or a description
of the command line & where the filter-rules file should be held/used. I
think I might have to pipe it into filter or something since this version of
filter seems to want keyboard input, which my docs do not state.
