Thanks for the above.  These are interesting byte-level optimisations which
I will hold-back on for now.  They both create a dependency between the code
and values used for creature types.  Not a serious dependency, but these
things are to be avoided until the last possible moment.

Attached, my source code - this will be easier than going through
disassemblies - but things like the above will probably be harder to spot,
unless you use a listing output - which is probably a good idea anyway.

Cheers
