That comment made me want to dig JSW Ivy out and play it again.
Doing so made me dig out JSW (again) and I decided to finally release
it!

Thanks for your comments; I hope you enjoy JSW (again) as much. :-)

The game is exactly the same as the MM/JSW Club (as it was back then)
release in December 2000. I just used JSWED2 to save it as a tap
(couldn't even be bothered to make a nice little tap of my own!)

The documentation was hastly bodged together with little editing.

Well, I'd like to see them eventually; the time frame is left to you.

I really liked Still Stealin' - it was a great improvement over your
previous games (that's a compliment!) :-)
