Subject: JSWED 2.3.2
It is great to see a new version of JSWED! :-) The copy-and-paste-
the-font functionality is very useful, indeed. Thanks a million,
John!

since JSWED 2.3.2 is still considered to be an unstable version, the
question comes to mind: When will it become / start to be considered
stable?
And one more thing. A long while ago Herve Ast called my attention
to a bug in JSWED 2.3.1 (which I meant to report, but finally I
never got round to it), which caused the extra life feature
disappear unless it was placed as the last element before saving the
game. In other words, if you added an extra life, then did some more
editing (I'm not sure whether in the same room or other rooms) and
then saved and closed the game, the extra life was not in the room
(rooms) where you had put it any more. I'm not sure whether this is
still a problem in JSWED 2.3.2, but since we're getting closer and
closer to a new stable version, I thought I might as well mention it.
And an unrelated question: will JSWED be able to save JSW II games
as TAP files at some point? From what I remember playing with this
subgenre, only saving Z80 files worked.
