Subject: Zotron LIVES!

Zotron 2000 is finally up and running, and losing regularly on fics under the
account "Zotron". Thanks to everyone for your comments over the months.

Note to fellow newbie programmers: It was recently suggested to me to add a
random factor to the eval to make Zotron more interesting while I improved the
eval. If you use MTD (or, I assume, PVS) this is a BAD idea. The unrepeatable
eval triggers many useless researches. I achieved the same effect with a random
sort of the move list.
