OK, I've uploaded a new version with the vertical guardian speeds

Good. JSW64:Dragon32 is now toilet-completable - I just completed it
with a toilet-time of 8:30am.

The guardian/guardian-collisions in "FORGOTTEN ABBEY" and "AT THE
FOOT OF THE MEGATREE" still occur - which I consider acceptable as
the player can leave these rooms before the collisions occur.

Assuming this is correct, it means the original release had the VGs
going twice as fast as they should have; that makes it somewhat
amazing that the original game was playable at all!

Some of the old challenges - such as "THE SECURITY GUARD" and "EAST
WALL BASE" in the 29th August 2004 revision - will be worth reusing
in future games. In the immortal words of Vera Zvonarëva, "Sometimes
you have to take a step backward to go forward."
