Does everyone remember Oing and YaBoing, the classic screen hacks?  I
thought it would be neat to run them both at the same time, so I
modified oing not to take up all the sprites, and yow!  You can watch
Oing play YaBoing!  (It got 23 points when I let it play by itself!)

If you want to try the modification yourself, I can send you some
notes about it; it's more than just changing a constant, but not much
more.

Questions:
    What's the best price on Aztec C people have seen?  Latest
    version?  I think I want Developer.  Or do those distinctions
    still exit?
    
    Has anyone written a Life game that uses the blitter to make the
    next generation?  If not, any conjectures as to whether it would
    be worth it?
    
    Where can I find a complete description of DNet?  Or should I just
    bug Matt Dillon?
    
    Where can I find a CLEAR, WELL WRITTEN (aaugh!) description of the
    format of executable files, and object files as {A,B}LINK handle them?

Email me at the below address?  I'm rather new to the net- not sure of
the standard practice.
