Since I had a version also called 3.5, although it was a few months old, I didn't actually download the new one. Perhaps they changed something and didn't change the version number? Or were you using a beta version, perhaps? Hmm. Oh well, it was fun anyway. The 3.5 I had contained a file `makefile.djg' but it was still for 1.08 and used the old built-in svga graphics, etc. Nate Eldredge eldredge AT ap DOT net
