   I have decided to change the way I am going to port Plain Jump to the 
82. I originally I was going to port the Usgard version directly. The 
external level routines are too much of a pain, so now I have decided to 
port the Zshell version. The Zshell version had one built-in level and 
the ability to custumize one of your own. I will not be directly porting 
the Zshell version either, however. If anyone has ever played the Zshell 
version, then you know how absolutely shitty it is. It uses 24 x 24 
sprites instead of 16 x 16 so everything is big and slow. A lot of the 
other options also aren't as good as in the Usgard version. So my plan 
is to port the Zshell version then impliment the all Usgard version's 
functions(minus external levels). Then eventually adding external levels 
in the distant future.
   I began working on the Zshell version yesterday. I hope to have betas 
ready by early next week(school permitting). To determine a beta testing 
team, a Ztetris contest will be held in a similar fashion to the Zkart 
contest a month or two ago. The contest will start either tomorrow or 
Saturday depending on how much time I have to work on PJ.
    Sam
