 ===== Description =====
+Due to a minor paperwork problem at Spewing Oil Inc, two rival refiner firms were awarded the same contract to build a pipeline between two major refiners.
+"We care about the environment..." the public relations officer said while speaking with the managing director of one of the refinery companies, so we have marked on this map a gridded area where the pipeline may pass.
+"If you don't come out, we'll come down on you like a ton of bricks and the job will go to someone else. We'll provide you with all the materials you need."
+Fred and Harry, the construction foremen of the two refinery companies, decided that the only way to solve the problem was to cooperate. They agreed to take turns laying out pieces of the pipe and splitting the cash at the end.
+However, Harry was short on cash, so he began to play dirty, doing his best to force Fred out of the grid area. Fred fought back, doing his best to push Harry out of the area.
+What happened next you can find out by playing Crazy Plumbing yourself. You can be Fred, Harry or anyone else from both companies, and it doesn't always have to be Harry who plays dirty.
 Crazy Plumbing is a classic game for one or two players. The objective of the game is to reach the right corner of the first field, although we can also win by pushing our opponent off the grid.

 In the first phase we will not be able to select type 1.
+The game makes extensive use of the large print routine published in the April 1987 issue of Computing with the Amstrad. If you don't have this program already installed, you'll need to type the full listing shown here.
+However, if you have the large print routine saved to disk, you can save a lot of time by typing and following the instructions below:
+First load your version of the large print routine, remove lines 10 to 30 and 50 to 310, and add the following line:
+POKE pen,255:POKE paper,0:POKE double,0:CALL screen:RETURN
+then enter:
+       RENUM 760
+Now write the rest of the program up to line 760, as shown in the list.
