Hello everybody,

I am back of véga!
(not the Véga Solar System but the beach of Véga in the north
of Spain in the Principality of Asturies...)
Far from at home and without computer, I nevertheless had time to
improve the scenario of my next game... on paper.

The important news, it is a forthcoming version four of "JSW in
Paris" with like principal change a nearly perfect translation in
seven languages...

(Addition of the accents, diacritical characters of certain
languages and game completely translated of the beginning to the
end.)

But as my spelling mistakes proves it, I am not very good to
translate perfectly my play into several languages...

I am very glad to be helped by DANIEL who did a remarkable work of
translation perfect in English, Spanish and Polish!
It is really perfect!

It is there that I feel all the potential and the power of a group
where each one contributes to create interesting games!

I wait to finish the work of the translations completely, to diffuse
these new versions. I will keep you informed.

When I created "JSW in Paris" with really VERY GOOD JSWED, often, I
had the same problem. the program window just disappeared and I lost
all the changes which I had made.
I noticed that the problem always started after having changed or
having created a memory for guardians or sprite in the
screen "memory".

I succeeded in each time to remove this small problem, by checking
all the rooms of the game, to find and replace possible guardians
which was create automatically by errors during the change of memory
and by replacing them by new a guardian neutral
(for example guardian with type "blanck" and especially "!" with as
hex: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 very important!)I do not know why, but
if these data are not with zero, the guardian is always factor of
problem...
I do not know if I were sufficiently clearly with these
explanations... but the program functions very well after this small
operation!

currently with the version 64k, I do not have problems

I repeat once again, this program is really fantastic!
With the version 64k, the possibilities of creation are almost
infinite!

see you soon
Hervé
