It would be niftier to make *those* runnable rather than simply converting the fish files for xfish. Ah, to see Spock mind-melding a Horta on my X terminal... 8-). And the NetAudio extension yelling "Pain! Pain!" :-) The technical challenges there would be interesting. Do you know if Berkeley Systems have done a nice API for audio and graphics from a module? Instinct says yes since they run AfterDark on everything from Macintoshes to PeeCees. Don't they also make said API available? A lot of the modules are contributed, and it would be difficult to write one without such info. I must take a look at my copy of AfterDark and possibly ask Berkeley a few questions, after all I'm probably one of the few people that _BUYS_ it, that should count for something I'd hope... :-) Jordan -- Jordan K.
