Symbolic!

JSW CK (one of JSWED's Spectrum-based competitors, written by Andrew
Broad) used to zero out all the data when clearing a room, thus
creating eight instances of Guardian Class 0. Then Andrew tweaked it
so that it sets Offset 240 to the value 255 initially, thus creating
an empty guardian-instance list.

I keep telling Andrew that 0 isn't always the best default value for
a lot of things in JSW CK, but I suspect it will be a long time
before he karies out the improvements to JSW CK that I've asked him
to kari out. In fact it may be a while before he gets around
to /anything/ Willy-related, given how busy he is at the moment...

I will see to it that he finishes MM:AT on time - that's the most
important thing.
