- I've noticed that once your off-road, steering to the left or right is very
- difficult, if not almost impossible. I've tried it on both my ROM 01 and ROM 03
- machines with the same results. Steering left or right _on_ the road (grey area)
- seems to work fine otherwise. My copy came from ccosun.caltech.edu FTP site, so
- I'm uncertain whether or not it had the patch applied.

- Once on the subject of FTA, I'd like to see "Oil Landers" and "Bulla" made
- available on GEnie, c.b.a2, and FTP. I know how pressed for time you are, but
- perhaps someone else would be willing to distribute the copies. (I can just
- imagine how incomplete these are, yet I'd very much like to see them. As I'm
- sure the rest of the Apple II community would! ;-)
