Beta Testers, This is hopefully the last major bug fix for the game. The last bug I know of is the problems with tgetent in the termcap library. Hopefully Jawaid can find some free time in the near future to help me resolve this issue. If the tgetent call fails, VBA will quit immediatly. So if VBA quits when it is launched, that is the reason. I have removed the option of playing shortened games. Only full regulation games exist. HOWEVER, I have left the ability to force the game to quit. Pressing "P" while the clock is running will cause the game to end. The other debugging tool I have left in the game is for playing the computer over the network. This was for my convenience. If you try to use it, VBA will play for a little while, but it is likely to crash (awwww...). If you have access to two apple IIGSes and would like to set up a 2 player game where the computer is the 2nd machine, let me know and I'll provide you with a version that does work. As everything has been changed since the last update, please go through everything and let me know how everything works. Also, the 2nd draft of the documentation is enclosed in AW 3.0 format. At 45k its getting pretty large. If you find the time, please look through it and let me know what you think. I understand that I'm asking a lot now, but I think we're just about done (Finally!). Thanks for your help everyone, I've really appreciated it! Hal
