You have to jump through the ramp in "NITE LAW" [3] such that you
just clear the Fire-cell at (9,31).

Not that it's relevant in this instance, but all JSWED tells you is
the four connections /from/ a given room. What JSWED doesn't tell you
is which rooms connect /to/ a given room, which is why I wrote
SPECSAISIE RoomReachJSW.

The current version of RoomReachJSW is sound & complete for JSW48
games which use only 6-bit room-numbers and no teleporters. But
Goodnite Luddite uses 8-bit room-numbers as a quirky feature to
suppress items when you first enter certain rooms, so RoomReachJSW is
not quite complete for Goodnite Luddite.

[sound: never says there is a connection where there isn't]
[complete: always says there is a connection where there is]


Anyway, while I'm here, I'd better update you all with my activities
on the MM/JSW front... or lack thereof.

I currently have 1168 unread emails (and am up to Message 5968 in
this Group), and no time at the moment to make this number decrease.
I will not be updating my MM/JSW web-pages until I have 0 unread
emails, and the way things are going, that could be months away. :-(

My current tennis-distractions will mean little or no MM/JSW for at
least the next two weeks (12th-25th February).

After that, I may have some limited time for MM/JSW (perhaps one day
a week) until the end of April.

And from 27th April to 27th May (when the French Open begins), I hope
to have one good month of MM/JSW before it gets buried in the next
avalanche of tennis.

But even this little time for MM/JSW could be taken away from me...
much will depend on what will happen on Wednesday...
