Long ago I wrote a fudge.c that takes octal addresses (gleaned from
`od -s') and then does the above interactively and safely.  I still
have it around somwhere, in case anyone is interested.  I wrote it
to change the rogue monsters to faculty names, and to cheat on the
die rolls.  It was kind of fun to watch people surprised by killer
hobgoblins.
