i know the feeling :). but that's cool to know that it's technically
possible. *glares at other programmers with some free time*

yeah... that's very cool... a few additions huh? just when you think
it has everything you could wish for!

i'm still tweaking the 'master' version... little changes and
stuff... then i wanna send it over to you before i do the winter
changes, because i've got a couple of little problems that i recon
will need your expertise. one of these is that the 'toilet' sprite
(which is now a bed), refuses to appear in the master bedroom (which
is the ending room of RR). also i can't get the extralife routine to
run properly - it's the only part of the hackulator i'm having
difficulty with :)

i did a lot of disk swapping with the amiga, yes... i use the term
lamer always as to mean someone who can't program ;). i hack JSW, MM
and SMW (mario), yet i'm a lamer. it truly is a sign of the times :)
