No, but I feel for you...

YES, Those of us with older Mac would much appricate this, Greatly.. The 
other thing that I would appricate is that black & white be supported, 
color is not a option for my powerbook.

>2) Handle entire sector at once.

Not quite as important, but it would be nice.

>4) Generate World Tamers/Worldbuilders stats for worlds.

Both,these are real high on my list.

This sounds like a really cool porgram, and I would really l like to see 
it complete. Have been thinking about doing something on the same lines, 
but Don't have the skills and/or the right software to do it yet.

That digest was 41K in size.  You are the second or third person to complain
about the problem.  You didn't miss much in that digest, somehow a bounced
message got sent back to the list, so that one was full of fluff.

What do you (the list) think?  Should I go ahead and reduce the digest size
down to 800 lines?  That will get it real close to 32K.

Thanks, Ken. Actually, I thought we got along very well. We didn't like
each other and we wanted the same bit of real estate, but we understood
one another perfectly ;-). I enjoyed writing propaganda against you.

Steve will tell you that I nearly blew a gasket when I heard about how
my successor screwed things up. Mind you, from what I've heard since
about the Alliance and their research programs I think I would eventually
have come a cropper myself. But I wouldn't have dragged a couple of
billion people in with me!

   watch Arians  and Monophysites  and Nestorians  and Jews going
   about  their  business  unmolested,   as  if  they  owned  the
   country. If that isn't persecution, I'd like to know what is!"
