Keep 'em coming if you can.  }-)  I've been trying them out, and I think
Jeff has moved 'em over every time he logs in.

General comments on recently uploaded demos....

genesis.tos bombs on my machine. Dunno why, haven't looked at it. Suspect
TOS 1.4 incompatibility. The acid2.arc file is 360K in size, the single
file within it is only 279K. Kind of a drag, that. The Space Ace demo is
kind of cool, but the graphics aren't running in lock-step synchronization
with the digitized sound. On my Turbo-16 equipped Mega 4, the animation
sequence ends before the sound track should end, so the sound gets cut off
abruptly. (And the laser blast sound effects don't occur when the shots are
drawn onscreen. Just like watching a Japanese movie, but ... }-)
The color demo also doesn't work, due to Turbo-16, but that's no surprise.
Most of the others have been OK. I haven't gotten the snowman demo to work
yet, it crashes my system every try so far. (And it's awful good at wiping
the FAT and root dir of my RAM disk every time, too. Quite tedious...)

Usually pretty fun stuff here, tho. Nice. Finalcut was pretty good.
