Random Trap release 5.18.99

Another simple utility to assist game designers, Random Trap will randomly
give you a few attributes about a trap.  It will give the item in the room
that triggers the trap, the damage the trap inflicts, and what effect is
given to the victim.

Simply type "rtrap" and it will do the rest.  A few requirements:

 - The library files (core.lst, effects.lst, damage.lst) must be in the
   same directory as the executable.
 - When editing the library files, remember:
     - Lines must be shorter than seventy characters
     - Blank lines and lines starting with the semicolon are ignored.
     - Quotation marks should not be used in library files.
 - Make good use of the program!

The idea is taken directly from the old Dungeon Master's Guide by Gary Gygax
and also from the Dungeon Builder's Guidebook by Bruce R. Cordell.  I was
actually disappointed by the DBG for I felt that Mr. Cordell never delved
deep enough into dungeons building.  Yes, it is only a guide; but he is very
vague in several areas.

I'd like to expand these simple utilities into more, I'm going to create a
series of Random programs that will hopefully assist you.  This first program
is AD&D specific, it would take either a little creativity on a designer's
part or some editing of the text files to make this FRUA specific; but, that
time is for tomorrow.

Anyhow, send some ideas or criticisms and I'll see what I can do about them.

Changes since release 4.2.99:

 1. Tightened the coding and converted the source from Microsoft QuickBasic
    Extended v7.1 to PowerBASIC Compiler v3.50. Runs a little faster.
 2. I forgot to switch the colors to normal when exiting. Most people never
    saw anything; but, the error was there.
