Re: The BoycoT BBS (bug fixed)

You must be going into games that nobody has went into yet.  I don't see the 
things compiling every time.  Once they are compiled, that's it unless you 
edit the seg again, or unless there's an error in compiling and it aborts 
the compile.

I'll get into looking at the crashing maybe this weekend.  A lot of the 
games were written to exit back to the main menu.  I modified these to exit 
to the games segment...but that was after I made the archive that I sent to 
Brad...so I need to do it again.  I'm just trying to find the time to do all 
the things I want to do.  The wife doesn't let me spend a whole lot of time 
in the computer room.
