This directory contains the rules, and some script for the administration of
the rules. The main file is the file named INDEX. It contains a list of 
keywords and what files they can be found in. Use a decent wiztool to 'egrep'
after keywords. You could use 'more' on it and the search therein, too.

Note that in reality, there is only one RULE: the admin rules. The rest here is
a help for them to rule the same way regardless of time, place and person. Some
rules are very hard and fixed and have been collected under the title 'Rules'
in the files. Some rules are rather recommendations or advice; those can be
found under the title 'Guide Lines'. There are also som hints on coding etc.
hidden under this title in some of the files.

If your are reading this as a new-born lvl 20 wizard, all you have to read this
first time are the files named 'general.r' and 'behave.r', and only the part
under 'Rules' headline.
