Explore mode




 The work is almost completed on it, and I'll ship the patches off to
frank sometime soon.

 DM mode does give powers beyond no death which ordinary players do
not have.  Also, by default, it has a password, so only certain
people can use it.

 Explore mode, on the other hand, is as follows:

 no death
 anyone can use it (provided it was compiled in)
 can not be turned on in a multi player game, and once turned on, new
	players can not be added.
 you can save and restore games 
 you can not place on the scoreboard.

 Also, as it is now, once you turn explore mode on, it will always
been on for the rest of the life of that particular invocation of
crossfire (there seemed to be no easy way to reset the maps to
the orignal state (as someone pointed out, should be done, so
a person can't enter explore mode, and start a new character
to loot all the goodies)).  So, if you entered explore mode, and
want to play without it, you need to re-run the program.
