For all of you out there who are experiencing nasty Robot Battle problems,
we have a new version available that fixes the nasty crashing bug.  We'll
make it available (via e-mail) early next week to anyone who requests it.
I don't want to post it to sumex just yet; they like to limit upgrades to
once a month.  The new demo has the following new features:

separate color and b/w versions - the color version wants an '020 or better
to run
fix of the bug that caused the freeze-ups
for/next and arrays added to the language
All weapons are functional (sonic beam and missiles), however, only lasers
actually do damge; this allows people to see exactly what the full version
is like.

I'll post a note on mac.games when the new version's available.
