Not only is it pleasant to help a worthy cause, but the resources made available have enabled us to revamp our webpage and add new products only two weeks later than planned. I personally have also been deluged with offers from grateful Linux users of goods and services, including unlimited credit, panel trucks and hair restorer. I have to decline them all, as I program for the fun of it, but feel I must remind those of you who are young college girls to brush up on your spelling before the exams; the 'e' may be silent, but it is still expected. Hexplay, the game runner, has been slightly improved, and Hexaid and Hextools, the game and graphics editors have been added. A new version of 'Anoraks of Doom' has also been put on the site. I regret that some suggestions made by several people have either not been followed for artistic reasons, or proved beyond my capacity to program. These include: Since the last section of 'Pizza Reaction', the third part of the Anchovy Trilogy, will take place in the Infernal Regions, it would be artistically inappropriate for me to go to Hell right now. I have been unable to find the routine in GNU C which will reformat my hard disk. Besides, I have serious doubts about the effect of this on game balance. I may eventually port the whole system to Windows95, but there are reasons why I am reluctant to make this my sole platform. Also, it seems there is little urgency in this, as those who suggested it were unanimous in saying that they currently don't use Windows95. It wouldn't fit - and how would I get at the keyboard? I would also like to thank the gentleman in England who offered to help with my timing problems. I too regret that you are not able to come over and punch my clock. Thank you all once again.
