four-character genetic moniker. (Breeds are listed in APPENDIX B below.)
If you enter a genetic moniker, the creature with that moniker (assuming
you have its .GEN and .S16 files in the right places) will be assembled
for you from its existing sprites; however, you must enter the correct
age, sex, and species information for it to look right, since NornPose C2
can't tell from the creature's DNA what age and sex it is supposed to be.
(It *could* be made to tell species from DNA, but for the sake of saving
development time this feature was omitted.)
Finally, the text box labeled "Creatures 2 Path" specifies the path for
