We need another category, for interpreters, game engines, maybe game server=
s, game server queries, and other utilities that aren't the whole game, or =
that require the original game=2E Perhaps, games-utils=2E dMagetic requires=
 an original game, as does scummvm for many popular games=2E=20

The games category is crowded, and it makes sense to have a full category =
for games-text=2E Let games-text be a secondary category for game component=
s that are also mainly game utilities=2E Eventually games-utils will need a=
 full category of its own=2E

These directly below are for starting on games-utils, not games-text=2E
