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.

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."
