"Preserving the artistic license of the game" was possibly a bad way to state it. "Preserving the look and feel of the game" may be better. The lady that I had make these icons for me went to a lot of time and effort to produce them (and I thank you for your efforts Dorothy) and I beleive she did a wonderful job on them. Since 98% of this game is the icons, I was attempting to keep them from being mutilated and then propagated, thus spoiling the game for others. As I stated before, if you want them, ask for them, and I will gladly send them to you. I don't mind Jef disasembling them for his own use but they should be sent to me for propagation. As he said they are copyrighted. As it stand now, there exists 126 tile icons (1 set color, 1 set B/W, 1 set color for 386) plus misc. cursor and closed icons. I am still working on the color icon editor patches to remove as many glitches as possible. FYI, when I finish this I will post the first "bug" fix and the icons.o file for the 386. Anyone in the Portland OR area willing to let me spend ~2 hours getting it running on the SPARC machines ;-) ?? =========================================================================== Mark Holm ..tektronix!ogcvax!cvedc!exc!markh Exceptions ..sun!cvbnet!cvedc!exc!markh 126 NE Grant Phone (503)648-8307 Hillsboro, Oregon 97124 Messages only until after 6:00 PM It's amazing what you can do on outdated equipment!!
