- There's another bug. The range of a sonic tank in the slowest mode is 3
- squares, but in the fastest mode, the range is that of an entire screen.
- That's why when I get the sonic tank, I set the speed at fastest (even
- on my 486) so that I can get max benefits from the tank.

- Another bug is that those CHOAM deliveries don't arrive if you don't
- have space next to your starport's left side.
-
- Yet another bug is that there is a limit to the number of structures you
- can build, and the program does not tell you.

- though ...
