[CSC 204] THIS IS NOT HARD!

[Andrew J. Pounds]

Okay folks -- what I gave you for sample output was exactly that -- 
sample OUTPUT from the program once it processed your dice rolls.  In 
the original paper description of the project I described your input 
section and how it should  ask the user for the correct input.  That 
must still be there!

I have also gotten some questions related to the "-1" in the output.  I 
described this in the bottom of the e-mail that had the poorly formatted 
output.  Because some of you did not read that far, I am repeating it here.
