  This is a (micro) macro hack..  intended for game implementors to
be able to point to where the executable version of there game is now
located.

INSTRUCTIONS:
  Simply change '<game name>' in the asciz string MESAGE in this file
to the name of your game. Issue the command: LOAD ABSENT.MAC to the
exec, this will assemble this program. Then: SAVE ABSENT.EXE This
will save the core image. (You can now DELETE ABSENT.REL). Lastly:
RENAME ABSENT.EXE to the name of your game.EXE.
