Buggy!? The only bug that is known (I think) is that OTH_ARROW doesn't
work.
And if Usgard 1.0 would be compatible with the old software, it would
really
suck. Usgard 0.95b was one big mess. Also, very few programs were ever
released for Usgard 0.95, and most of them (?) has been converted to
Usgard
1.0, or will be (see below).
Also, Andreas Ess and I will release a new Usgard version which even
allows
libraries to some degree. This makes it possible to reuse for example
winlib
(which is a very good example on something that should be a library -
small
routines like putting sprites etc should NOT be in a library. It also
make
TSR program even easier - relocation in TSR! And future Usgard versions
will
be backward compatible (with 1.0).
So, all programs in Usgard 0.95 using winlib will be (most likely) very
easy
to port to Usgard 1.1 (I guess it will be called that).
