Hi! I see you've made the excellent decision to enjoy a relaxing game
of mboggle...
You'll notice two new things about the mboggle program:
1. It prints a message-of-the-day (this file, in this case) if one has
been created by the maintainers of the program.
2. It uses a hashed spelling checker which doesn't need to call any
sub-processes (and therefore never dies as ispell and webster used
to) and goes about ten times faster than the old spelling checkers.
(Special credit goes to Terry Donahue for writing the hash function.)
Enjoy!

P.S. Please report any problems you have with mboggle by sending mail
to bug-sipb.

Problem: I don't want to read this long, uninformative message every
time I play mboggle. How about something like
"Mboggle Version foo.bar 12/23/88: bugs to bug-sipb"
or even better,
"Your name?"
