Transparent water???  Alright, was wondering when that would occur.  Can 
someone release the updates to the build engine, like what it can do now?
I personally am waiting for Prey, if it is like the pics on the Duke 3D CD 
then it will be a must for my software library.  How realistic is gaming 
getting now? Or do you shy away from being to realistic?
I am going to have to get a new computer now...Duke 3D runs slower then ever 
on my computer.  The video doesn't work unless it is VGA graphics only, don't 
know why I have a Diamond Video card that has VESA 1.2 standards, and I run 
UNIVBE 5.1.  Maybe it is my 486sx 40mhz computer with 8 megs ram.  What do 
you think?
