The very first posting in comp.binaries.atari.st is glitched. Anyways, since I have the original, I just ran a diff and ... How to fix it up: Take the uuencoded file and delete all lines in front of the begin. line 976 should begin with: M'++.+V this is correct line 979 should begin with: M$Y #= this is correct delete lines 977,978 insert the following lines after line 976: M% O8.F-,$C4D?4,2.&@[O;#1]004P -V0Q#OO TG:\&#/,;@=T;V,U!W"X' M'D '=J-@=WXWKYSPW':K8'<.=F,7^=!.X]TOOP/SVX3=&V_N-P 2*/Z$W1[S M:W+D 9P^\N*#XVO\?8C8SUIX.@>#)VBV/W..#SGH'BY-A]C]WXI)^P[[3G the resultant file should have lines 976 to 981 looking just like this: M'++.+V<\P!XDL1R(T#FW++'1@I"4"$F*,,URO@?

(I mean download it to the ST). But, these changes do result in a file that is identical with the one I originally sent in. Of course, nothing is complete without a bug report: If null-gravity is selected the speed of the asteroids seems a little random. It is not. It is set to the speed of a stable orbit of the most recently player game where the gravity was not zero. (is this a bug or a feature?? :^) Warren -- =-=-=-=-=-Warren Long at University of Saskatchewan, Canada-=-=-=-=- Home: 78 Carleton Dr.,Saskatoon, Sasakatchewan, S7H 3N6 Phone: (306)-955-1237 =-=-=-=-=-U-Email: ...!ihnp4!alberta!sask!long -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
