Note: In many cases if you click onto a posters name you get their full name or website where several folks have their names on them.

No worries but I would imagine that due the majority of folks on here will either have already or know where to get something. Thus use URL's in a readme.txt to the extra stuff, helps point people to places also to learn.

:) Still thank you for taking on our collective feedback.

Ok. Have you thought about using a basic INI file and sticking them both into that - it would also allow you to expand the game further in the future.

This enhanced CRT unit your using is it your own? From a quick check of the EXE you appear to only be using Int 16h for keyboard. If you can't/don't want to distribute your keyboard routines in source code, I'll happily open source some of mine for you (even though there are stacks on the web).

Thanks.

No comment... !

I think I saw you use the word PDF. TXT and/or HTML would be better.
