-== Nomenclature ==
-
-This project is called "Open Adventure" because it's not at all clear
-to number Adventure past 2.5 without misleading or causing
-collisions. Various of the non-mainline versions have claimed to be
-versions 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and for all I know higher than that.  It seems
-best just to start a new numbering series while acknowledging the
-links back.
-
-We have reverted to "advent" for the binary to avoid a name collision
-with the BSD Games version.
-
-== Functional changes in Open Adventure ==
-
-By default, advent issues "> " as a command prompt.  This feature
-became common in many variants after the original 350-point version,
-but was never backported into Crowther & Woods's main line before now.
-The "-o" (oldstyle) version reverts the behavior.
-
-A "seed" command has been added.  This is not intended for human use
-but as a way for game logs to set the PRNG (pseudorandom-number generator) so
-that random events (dwarf & pirate appearances, the bird's magic word)
-will be reproducible.
-
-A -l command-line option has been added. When this is given (with a
-file path argument) each command entered will be logged to the
-specified file.  Additionally, a generated "seed" command will be put
-early in the file capturing the randomized start state of the PRNG
-so that replays of the log will be reproducible.
-
-Using "seed" and -l, the distribution now includes a regression-test
-suite for the game.  Any log captured with -l (and thus containing
-a "seed" command) will replay reliably, including random events.
-
-The adventure.text file is no longer required at runtime.  Instead, it
-is compiled at build time to a source module containing C structures,
-which is then linked to the advent binary.
