	Dale, I believe I'm the hacker in question and I'm sorry for not
having posted the hack as of yet. The main problem is how to specify the
cuts and jumps on the network(picture's worth a thousand words and all
that). I'll try to get it together and post in the next several days.
I'm afraid that between my taking care of my two little girls at home,
and some girls named Denise and Agnus here at camp commodore, the entire
matter had slipped my mind. In the mean time I won't tease you with
testimonials as to its effectiveness in games like Hybris and Battle
Squadron which benefit greatly from analog control.
