ICBW, but I think this originated at QEGS in Wakefield. Certainly it 
was hacked around a lot there by a guy called Brian Butterworth (no 
relation to Brandon in case any of you know him).

There was certainly a later version called "Arena", an even later one 
called "Arena II" which may not have made it into the wild but which 
I may have on a floppy somewhere. Both relied heavily on open files 
and "ON ERROR" statements to trap the open files messages. There were 
a lot of GOTO statements too - a veritably horrible rat's nest.
