having to read the manual for pysol? pysol, fo example, is a great game, that comes bundled with linux [at least with my debian system]. There are other "small" games. The kind that used to be popular before the "big productions" took over, It maybe not profitable to make them commercially, but they *do* exist. And they are a heck of a way to waste my time ;-( -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
