- You said that 1.51 is available. Where? What will I sacrifice if I
- downgrade?
-
- How did you customize your copy of GIICS? Do you have the source? Is it
- available? What compiler did you use (I have access to Microsoft C for
- DOS, version 7.0 -- will that do?)?
-
- Also, what's the scoop with ICS 2.0 version whichever version GIICS is
- designed to work with? Will the author upgrade GIICS?
-
- Thank you for your reply last time; I hope to hear back one more time!
