        - Negative Cash Bug
        - A lot of log writing bugs
        - Some more bugs (hey, it was a month ago, ok?)
      Added:
        - Bar talking frequency (Hey you can now shut off those annoying
                                 REGISTER ME messages if you set it to 20000)

        - When Violet's married -- you can't get laid by her anymore
        - Attacking people is more random
        - Screen-Writing clean-ups, NPCMaint ends at bottom of page
        - NPCEdit's Deleting routines are perfect now (I think!)

          At least, it doesn't add to your exp., and shouldn't add to the log.
