Hi Chris,
Geeze, sounds nasty to me. Dont forget to write back to them after the
content has been removed and proclaim, "Just kidding" 
Oh yeah, BTW, since you guys seem to already have a game plan in
action maybe i'll chime out for now and chime back in as a debugger
once some code becomes available.
If you are into some specialized hardware via serial port or USB to work
with the game once it gets going (keypad, etc.) let me know...perhaps
i can cook something up for relatively low cost and open source (open
source hardware too).
Take care,
Al
E boa sorte com sua programacao Euphoria!
