-----nothing to eat-------

This is to inform everybody of the status of SpaceWar Ver.3
I have mailed it off to Jim Turner @ Imagen who is to be the
new moderator of Atari ST sources (and other big programs).

So, as soon as the new group is up and running, it should be
available.  Many thanks to everybody who responded to my
posting anouncement.  If anyone is still unable to find a copy
by about March 21, please email/sna mail me a note, and I will
get a copy to you somehow.

Additional features of the game:
	-runs in colour or mono (better tuned for mono tho')
	-user can select:
		-gravity (none,weak,normal,strong)
		-open or closed universe
		-shields or no shields
		-contact with sun kills or not
		-torpedoes can be contact or proximity
		-length of game
		-torpedo speed (slow,normal,fast)
		-shipthrus (weak,normal,strong)
		-gravity type (normal,reverse)
		-sun or blackhole
		-drag (orbits decay) or perfect vacuum
		-orbiting asteroids (0,1,2)
	-many functional features improved:
		-better orbits, collision detection
		-bouce mode no longer bugged
		-disabled key click/repeat
	-bugs:
		-still glitched in some ship rotations
		-does not restore keyclick,key repeat

The game is freeware.  Distribute it as you see fit.  Anyone
who has comments, or bugs is invited to write/call me.

Warren
