- Down boy... I'm a beta tester also (ie- its shareware & I payed for it) so I've
- seen every version Wendell has released since post 1.0, including the released
- betas for 1.1 and 1.2. But just because its shareware doesn't mean it can get
- away with lots of bugs. I haven't seen any yet, but I haven't had a lot of
- time to fool with it recently.

- I also suggested the synchronous mode- I'm sure several people have. Mr. Hicken
- has been *extremely* responsive to user input- 2.0 will be incredible if he
- can get enough time to work on it. Most of the suggestions I've put in are
- supposed to appear in 2.0. I'm sure others have made suggestions that have
- turned into parts of the game by now.
