  So what's the lineup untill 1999?  :-)
  And I don't know about that "no new ideas" thing... I understand the 
Plutonium Pak was created because of popular demand.  Maybe if I get enough 
people to write you guys, it'll happen.

  Not even that bug fix?  I mean, it's not that serious, but....
  Oh, and something of Shadow Warrior... do you think it will perform better 
for "fake IPX" software for BBSes, like SERIPX?  Even if it's just an 
improvement in the normal IPX code itself?

  Dang it!  Ah well, I was planning to buy it anyway.  Guess that just means 
I'll tear myself away from it more quickly, so that I'll mail order it 
sooner.  By the way, how quickly do you figure the game would get to me in 
Ottawa, Canada?  It was frustrating when I ordered the full version of Duke 
3D and didn't get it until a month or so later.  But then, there was a LOT of 
demand for that game, so I shouldn't be too surprised.
