I just went to test this - and found that the .tap files in the 29th
August release are byte-identical to those in the 22nd August
release! They still have a timestamp of 22/08/2004 22:23.

I've also spotted another bug: missing horizontal guardians in the
right halves of the Kong-Beast rooms [7, 11].

I'm planning a big JSW64-testing session hopefully next weekend.

It's just another Manic Sunday
I wish it was next Sunday
'Cause that's my fun-day
My Jet-Set Willy run-day

P.S. MM:Allana Truman now has Rooms 0-14 and 18 finished, and Rooms
15-17 and 19 in various unfinished states. Does anyone know how to
spell a place in Australia pronounced "or-bree"? My best guesses
are "Aubrey" and "Aubrie".
