imilar,
I just recently noticed that bug when I tried to delete some 'down' bbs's ..
The new version is *really* cool, but there is only *1* thing I don't like
about it compared to v0.05 - the automatic coloring.
He had (has) a cool color scheme going there, caps in standard grey, numbers
in 'light' blue, anything you have to hit the shift key for (symbols such
as !@#$%) would get 'dark' blue, and lower case letters were in white .. VERY
easy to read, and it just looks cool. :)
just my 2 cents ...

Write your reply.

assistant: Re: Config files and so on:)
it only passes it to the .CFG file if the executable was programmed to pass
that command line parameter to it, or if the executable was programmed to
'see' the %task% as set by your batch file, and pass that along to the cfg
file before running.
in other words, it all depends on the game ... some do this, others don't ...

Write your reply.

assistant: First of all, I hope you know how terribly stupid that message sounded.
Secondly, I don't know who or what you listen to, but the US doesn't have
any plans to "take over" Canada.  Heh, why bother?  I've heard people
before ranting about how the "evil" US is going to take over Canada.  Total
nonsense from jealous people who don't live in the US.  And if the US
military was so lazy, then how come they were able to design such
technology in the first place?  The machines don't kill the people
either...we still have a while to go before we could ever have total AI
machines which actually control weapons, if the US would even allow such a
thing.  None of the conspiracies you hear about on TV affect people like
you think.  The only time they enter my mind is when I watch a television
show about them.  And I think you watch too much TV if you think you would
even be able to get close to Area 51 without being blasted to pieces by our
"lazy" military.  So go ahead and try it...if you got a mile past the border
I'd be surprised.  :)
