(Applications welcome) Lines: 34 I think all of these ideas are good. Two things that I have put in: 1) beep when new planes arrive (useful @ 1200bps when the going's slow) 2) turn towards a) airport # b) destination (automatically figures airport/exit #) More ideas: 1) about suspending/escaping, how about a cmd line flag? 2) at cmds stack up (i.e. turn to 90 @ b0 [90 from b0 heads to b3], 45 @ b3) 3) compute towards cmds when executed for @ cmds (i.e. if e2 is 45 from current position, but 90 from b0 & we say "turn towards exit #2 at beacon #0", it turns 90, not 45). I hope this new release gets out ASAP. There are much too many mods coming off the net for me to keep it straight. --Roland McGrath -- Roland McGrath Illustrious-Title: President, Hackers Anonymous International, Ltd., Inc.
