The title screen to Diamonds says that if we register, the author will send us
a level editor.  It seems like it's up to us to send in the $$$, work up some
awesome levels, and make them available.  

One problem with many shareware games is that they don't hold the player's
interest for very long.  As Oliver Dreer (Diamonds author) implements many of 
the good suggestions that people have put forth, and given the existing 
capability to edit our own levels, Diamonds is going to be a great game with 
long-lasting value.  Keep it up, Oliver!
