/* Define this if you want to archive book titles by contents.  
 * This option should enforce UNIQUE combinations of titles,authors and 
 * msg contents during and *between* game sessions. 
 * Note: a slight degeneracy exists since books are archived based on an integer 
 * index value calculated from the message text (similar to alchemy formulae). 
 * Sometimes two widely different messages have the same index value (rare). In 
 * this case,  it is possible to occasionally generate 2 books with same title and 
 * different message content. Not really a bug, but rather a feature. This action 
 * should  keeps player on their toes ;). 
 * Also, note that there is *finite* space available for archiving message and titles. 
 * Once this space is used, books will stop being archived. Not a serious problem 
 * under the current regime, since there are generally fewer possible (random) 
 * messages than space available on the titlelists.
 * One exception (for sure) are the monster messages. But no worries, you should
 * see all of the monster info in some order (but not all possble combinations)
 * before the monster titlelist space is run out. You can increase titlelist
 * space by increasing the array sizes for the monster book_authours and book_names 
 * (see  max_titles[] array and include/read.h). Since the unique_book algorthm is 
 * kinda stupid, this program *may* slow down program execution if defined (but I don't 
 * think its a significant problem, at least, I have no problems running this option
 * on a Sparc 10! Also, once archive title lists are filled and/or all possible msg 
 * combinations have been generated, unique_book isnt called anymore. It takes 5-10 
 * sessions for this to happen). 
 * Final note: the game remembers book/title/msg combinations from reading the
 * file lib/bookarch. If you REMOVE this file, you will lose your archive. So
 * be sure to copy it over to the new lib directory when you change versions. 
 * -b.t.
