> Sorry almost all of the problems you mention are my fault(sort
of). With Duckhunt 82z the problem is that Ahmed has been sending me the
source pasted into emails. The source is wider than the email width so
some adjusting is required. Once Ahmed sends me the UUE encoded source
code which fits into an email then I will release Duckhunt 1.1 with level
4 and 5 fixed. I'm also supposed to add highscores similar to Orzunoid
in the next version. The new vesion of Duckhunt will be released almost
as soon as I get it from Ahmed. As for Galaxian, if you had read the
readme file you would know that the contrast changer will be implimented
in the next version. I may add the auto-fire and new levels in the
version after next.
