Fine! :)
I have a BETA Asteroids clone out. It has no name. (It's just called
Vector, from the vector demo I made in Qbasic a long time ago which I
used the code and filename to when I started on it. Anyway, nobody seems
to care that it's called Vector....) It's pretty addictive, I think, but
the only drawback is I'm not using any special routines (need them for
mode 18) so it needs a 486DX/66 to have near good performance. (Pentium
recommended) The enemies are tough in groups.

If anybody has any fast mode 18 (640x480 16 color) or 640x480 256 color
line/polygon drawing routines I'd like to get them. (Not taking it out of
Beta until I optimize this thing)

No known bugs.

Getting to somebody would be the hard part. (No Internet access. I guess
if somebody is interested I can E-mail it to Robert Craig and get it put
on the website. (That's what I'm supposed to do, right? :) )
