NOTES:
(1)  To  get the flaky stone:- there is a bug in the program. If you try to
visit  all  the shops before getting the stone from the reeds, you are told
"you find nothing new" as if you have already taken it, and you will not be
able  to  get  it.  So  only  visit the flintmaker, then go straight to the
footpath and SEARCH the REEDS.

(2)  If  you  DROP ALL when the torch is lit, the torch does not go out and
you  will  be unable to pick it up as the program will say it is not there.
If  you  DROP  TORCH on its own, this does not occur as it goes out and the
program will allow you to pick it up.

(3) There are random elements to the lightning striking the limb and to the
bats  dropping  the core. This solution gives the most usual time and place
for  these  occurrences,  but  if  they  do not happen exactly as stated, a
couple of moves should be enough to wait before they do occur.
