Yes!  Love it!  I have one of your fairly recent versions (December or so I
think) and it's really nice.  Can you scroll around the 1024*8192 board?  About
all I can think of that I'd like to see is the ability to import predefined
figures from a 'zoo' of lifeforms, and to be able to stamp them down
accurately, perhaps with coordinates showing, onto an already generating board.
No biggie though.. it marvellous already.
