Bug fixes!

Hooray! The new version of the game is now live on the Radio 4 Hitchhiker's site.

It fixes the following four bugs found post-release:

1. SAVE/RESTORE bug - registered h2g2 no longer need to do an inital RESTORE.

2. End Game/quit bug - the hatch is now shown open when it's open, and the final scene is no longer missing for some players!

3. Odd characters in savegames - players who've saved games with '<' '>' or '&' in them will now be able to see all their saved games smiley - smiley

4. Checksum bug - although this is an internal feature that has no effect on gameplay, it raised eyebrows amongst the clever folks at the rec.games.int-fiction newsgroup, so it was fixed for completeness.

Thanks again to Santragenius V (1), Brad Beyenhof & Giles Boutel (2), Dot (3), and Bernhard Weber (4) for reporting these!
