Time is reported as "Moves"

[toiletduk]

In games with a timestamp (Planetfall and Stationfall are ones I know specifically that exhibit this), the time is represented as "Moves" in the status bar. Proof attached.

Oddly, Suspect doesn't do this.

I messed around with the source, and I'm 99.99999% sure I did this right, and this should fix it.

The Z-code files for Planetfall and Stationfall don't have the bit set in the header to indicate that the status bar is supposed to display time: instead what they call time is just the move count. For example, Planetfall running on an Amiga with Infocom's interpreter:

For Z-code version 3 it's up to the interpreter to draw the status bar: all the game provides is the location text, whether to show score/moves or time, and the value for that. Different Infocom interpreters showed it differently, but Planetfall and Stationfall are definitely really just showing score and moves.
