Thank you very much.  I hope you'll have many fun hours with it. :)

And thank you Thye Chean for speaking up for me and other IIgs
freeware/shareware developers.  Incidentally, this is the FIRST "I like
it/Thank you" reply I have received after uploading the game.  Maybe
people have not downloaded the game yet.  Or maybe Space Invaders is too
ancient a game for them, so they don't really like it.....  Whatever it
is, I understand your feelings about KeyWin too, Thye Chean. :)  Yeah,
I know the efforts you have put into it.  It's a pity you only received
one/two replies.

To the IIgs community:  If you like a freeware/shareware game, do send
the author a mail or two.  It'll be greatly appreciated.  Even if you do
not like the game, how about sending a "Hey, your game sucks!" (Ok,
maybe not so strong :) "It's missing this and this/How about adding that
and that" mail to the author as well?  That'll give him/her(?) ideas to
improve on the next version.

BTW, here's a public apology to Ian Schmidt:  Sorry that I misspelled
your name. :(  It never occured to me all along until I read your MTLib
1.2.1 readme file.  I'll be more careful in future.  To all IIgs users:
Ian Schmidt (not Schimdt) is the brains behind MTLib, a cool sound/music
library for the IIgs.  Thanks Ian.

ps. Thanks for all the suggestions.  I'll put that into the next upgrade.
