Empire, another timewaster from my youth

People are always asking me, "Dave, you're so good at wasting hours and hours on trivial nonsense... what's your secret?"

My hope was to build this from the Fortran/Macro sources on TOPS-10, but that didn't pan out -- many undefined symbols in the Link. But this updated version is definitely the next best thing!
