Re: Upgrading TWGS; Need GALs

  When I installed GUPP1.07 due to Wolf3D crashing on exit, the missing
files problems has cleared up as well.  Bravo, Nathan, for a great patch.
The TWGS clocks at about 15mhz with no current problems other than power
consumption.  It could be running faster.  The TWGS CDev reads 15.75 -
maybe the GALs are killing me now.
