Oops, showed my ignorance there didn't I? My mistake. No point in grumbling
anyway, as nothing is going to happen. After all, the Yaroze is still a
pretty damn fine piece of kit, I'm currently trying to get my megre coding
ability ( and the mathematical prowess of a hamster! ) round
windows/directX, and I really appreciate what an easy job the Yaroze makes
of creating games.
