This patch includes fixing of level limit check. 
The higher level calculation (>10) code, I have written
the level up code for the higher levels in Assembly
as this code is missing in the public demo version.

This should work well for PIT.EXE and EGAPIT.EXE 
for playing locally and via a BBS.

There is a small problem when using the PTERM.EXE and exceeding 
level 499, the game does not end properly. There seem to be
some server side registration check.

If TSR is prefered to patching, drop me an email.
