Software Rots!

(1 / 1)


	To my knowledge, nobody but me ever used the non-menu
option setting routine in System 1 (the one that looks like
a set of DIP switches). So, of course, it doesn't work. I think
I broke it when I added the menu-driven one. Anyway, It's fixed
now, but that is irrelevant since there are quite a few "broken"
systems out in the field. The only effect this should have is to
force System 1 programmers to provide a game-option menu from the
start (which should not be a real hassle).
	On the bright side, I found this bug with "lint", the subject
of the next message, and would HIGHLY recomend it to all "C" programmers.
