- Well, I liked the game *a lot*. In fact, I wrote a review saying so ;-).
- I never had any trouble laying tracks.

- Just double-clicking on the A-Train icon should load in Lo-res unless
- the icon has a tooltype HIRES=TRUE.

- They seem to be on GEnie and some other organisations, but not on the
- net.

- I should say that in addition to the display bug I reported in the
- review, A-Train also doesn't work properly with LacePointer by Nico
- Francois running. It has to be removed first, or else the pointer acts
- as if the screen is a 640x200 screen (ie, it only goes in the top half
- of the interlaced screen, and all the icons are mapped to the positions
- they would occupy if the A-Train screen only occupied the top half of the
- 640x400 screen).
- God that was confusing. Hope somebody got something out of all that.

- Hmm, Canberra, my home town. What's changed in the last 3 1/2 years
- since I was last back? Canberra's one of the few places in the world you
- can ask a question like that and get a relatively short answer ;-)
