- That sounds fantastic, I'll anxious to see it. I'll give it a
- thorough testing for you, don't you worry. I've described the program
- to my graphics friend (doing the graphics for my game), and hes
- failing over himself with excitment 8)

- Oh, my shootemup game 8) Yeah, the demo is finished now, I'll be
- uploading it to aminet later on. I'd mail it to you but I cannot, as
- you know. Its called StarWoids. Mostly bug free, except some sound
- and memory bugs which I think are blitz problems, and I can't seem to
- get rid of them. 8(

- Yeah, mail it, people would be stupid to complain about blitz libs
- being posted, they are the life of the language! Anim7. 8) That
- sounds excellent, I could definitely make use of that in my game (the
- release version) I think.
-
- Delta compress? Hmm, I think a separate library for that could be
- useful. Yeah, on the face of it, that would be excellent.
-
- Have you considered developing some libs to support compressed and
- encripted sounds/graphics etc, and maybe the bundling of lots of iff
- pics into one file? I would kill for something like that! 8)

- Unfortunately, my reply comes via the blitz-list again, when is your
- mail system due for a revamp????
