Just a major plug - Xtrek v5.4, a joint effort of CMU and UBC will be out for the r4 tape. v5.4 is everything you ever wanted in xtrek and more. There are almost no known bugs, it now supports configuration files, and is in general a much, much, much better game than the currently released version. If there are people who just can't wait for the r4 tape you can send me some mail and I will see about making it ftp-able. Jon C. R.
