 #### Porting Notes
 
-(please note any difficulties or challenges in porting here)
+- The program begins by switching on `I`, which has not been initialized.  We should probably initialize this to 0, though this means the output always begins with the phrase "midnight dreary".
+
+- Though the program contains an END statement (line 999), it is unreachable.  The program continues to generate output until it is forcibly interrupted.

+#### Known Bugs
+
+- If you bet more than the computer has, it will still see you, resulting in a negative balance.  (To handle this properly, the computer would need to go "all in" and reduce your bet to an amount it can match; or else lose the game, which is what happens to the human player in the same situation.)
+
+- If you are low on cash and sell your watch, then make a bet much smaller than the amount you just gained from the watch, it sometimes nonetheless tells you you "blew your wad" and ends the game.
+
+- When the watch is sold (in either direction), the buyer does not actually lose any money.
+
+- The code in the program about selling your tie tack is unreachable due to a logic bug.
+
+

 #### Porting Notes
 
-As per the analysis in
+The program does no validation of ship positions; your ship coordinates may be scattered around the board in any way you like.  (Computer ships will not do this, but they may be placed diagonally in such a way that they cross each other.)  Scattering your ships in this way probably defeats whatever all that spaghetti-code logic the computer is using to pick its moves, which is based on the assumption of contiguous ships.

+Conversion to [MiniScript](https://miniscript.org).
+
+Ways to play:
+
+1. Command-Line MiniScript:
+Download for your system from https://miniscript.org/cmdline/, install, and then run the program with a command such as:
+```
+	miniscript slalom.ms
+```
+
+2. Mini Micro:
+Download Mini Micro from https://miniscript.org/MiniMicro/, launch, and then click the top disk slot and chose "Mount Folder..."  Select the folder containing the MiniScript program and this README file.  Then, at the Mini Micro command prompt, enter:
+```
+	load "slalom"
+	run
