Removed spaces from top-level directory names.

Spaces tend to cause annoyances in a Unix-style shell environment.
This change fixes that.

# Guess
#
# From: Basic Computer Games (1978)
#
# "In program Guess, the computer chooses a random
# integer between 0 and any limit and any limit you
# set. You must then try to guess the number the
# computer has choosen using the clues provideed by
# the computer.
# You should be able to guess the number in one less
# than the number of digits needed to represent the
# number in binary notation - i.e. in base 2. This ought
# to give you a clue as to the optimum search technique.
# Guess converted from the original program in FOCAL
# which appeared in the book "Computers in the Classroom"
# by Walt Koetke of Lexington High School, Lexington,
# Massaschusetts.

########################################################
# Altough the introduction says that the computer chooses
# a number between 0 and any limit, it actually chooses
# a number between 1 and any limit. This due to the fact that
# for computing the number of digits the limit has in binary
# representation, it has to use log.
