  22.  
  23.    LADDERS DICE is a highly challenging, fast-paced, dice game that
  24.    requires some luck and good strategy. The object of the game is to
  25.    "capture" three ladders by reaching the top of the ladders, based
  26.    upon the roll of the dice.
  27.  
  28.  
  29.    NOTE: Most errors will be logged to a file called DFRAME.ERR, which is
  30.          created in the directory you run the door from.
