New In This Version
===================
REGISTERED VERSION
------------------
- Added the possibility of Teleport generation failures. This can cause
random destruction/generation of Energy Beams in a stream starting from
the failed teleport.
- Increased the speed of the Health buildup at beginning of game.
- Implemented Health Rejuvenation Overload which occurs if you do not
move for too long.
- Added Rejuvination Overload sound.
UNREGISTERED VERSION
--------------------
- Changed device open/close routines so that GridLock now works under 1.3
again.
- Updated email and mail address.
- Changed Kill-GridLockPort script to use 'localhost' instead of
'$HOSTNAME' and 'gridlock' instead of 'GridLock'.
- Changed TCP service entry to all lowercase. Change your db/services
entry to 'gridlock' instead of 'GridLock'. It seems to be standard and
most people were doing that way anyway (which would not work before).
- Added 'Service NOT found' as a detectable error message for TCP.
- Realized that the open/close routines were not the only thing wrong
under 1.3. For some unknown reason 1.3 does not like certain
characters to go across the serial line. Changed them so they are no
longer transferred.
- Moved Control preferences to menus so you can change the control device
during game play.
- Added Keyboard control.
- Added error #205 to 'Port NOT found' error message for TCP.
- When prompted to 'Press ANY key' at the end of a game, you many now
press the left mouse button instead.
- 'Press ESC to QUIT' message directive added for lockups that occur when
the opponents computer has crashed when ending game.
- Changed the game won 'GridLock' indication to a timed display rather
than ended by a key press.
- Slowed down the speed of the Health buildup at beginning of game to
encourage registration. :)
- Fixed a bug in the Health routine that caused parts of the screen to be
erased if Health went below 0.
- Fixed a few errors in the documentation files.
- Added Rejuvination Warning sound.
