I still don't like the way you can superjump up from the Bathroom
variants and get trapped in "Emergency Generator"

Moved to the Top Landing, which should also make variants X and [
completable.

nor am I keen on the placement of crumbling floor in "The
Bathroom" which leads to infinite death in "The Chapel".

Moved to Ballroom West. You can still get an infinite death loop
if you try, though.

It's cool how you can now reach the Forbidden Holy Ground in "Top
Landing" and "Ballroom West"! :-)

But if there's one JSW room where I always thought the floors should
crumble, it's "Dr Jones will never believe this".

Touch wood, I've no more changes I want to make to JSW64 (apart
from fixing any bugs that render the game unsolvable). That's not
to say that others might not want to make their own improvements -
for example, adding some of the Dragon32 rooms in the 128-room
variants, or extending the psychedelic decor in variant Z.

It's really just minor niggles now, like the way Willy appears above
the swordfish in "The Final Barrier" in his leftmost rather than
rightmost right-facing frame, and the way "Eugene's Lair" is now
unpassable should the player decide to go round the MM caverns again
after collecting all the items therein (Eugene should be triggered
by collecting the last item rather than by the flashing portal - or
perhaps the swordfish-routine should lock the portal in "This I do
not believe").

I must now investigate Variants W, X, Y, Z and [, along with
JSW64:Dragon32.
