One annoyance though: when double-clicking on SETUP.EXE (in Windows
XP), it goes up to 37% and then stops, and I have to kill the
process. I had this problem with JSWED 2.2.2 too. A lay user would
probably give up at this point, but it does work if you run SETUP
from a Command Prompt. But for some reason it tries to run SETUP
again after I have successfully installed JSWED!
It would also be nice if items in JSW games inherited their colour-
attributes from the squares they're drawn on. Currently JSWED draws
them with black PAPER regardless of the room's background PAPER.
I'm very pleased to see a new beta-revision of JSW64. I'll try to
playtest it in the near future - and hopefully get through the other
five variants this time, as well as JSW64:MM and JSW64:Dragon32.
