I was replying to Kari's comment, it was the first time I've seen
discussion of that topic (encryption-protection) since I mentioned it.

And yes, opening a well crafted game in the editor before you've
completed it is foolish. I've done it before and I can testify that it
spoils the fun. This is partly while I feel maps for JSW games can be
a bad thing if looked at prematurely.

Anyway - Congrats Igor on the completion of what sounds like a mammoth
project and an object of considerable beauty! Can't wait to be one of
the first to play it!

Sendy

p.s. I will be doing my pending releases soon but I'll probably wait
for the initial buzz of UMM to pass. ;)
